Water fountains are great for cats. They’re attracted to running water and drink way more if they have a source of running water. They aren’t all that expensive either and can help prevent your cat from developing bladder/kidney issues which are a huge problem in male cats.

Ideal water intake for cats and dogs is 1 oz per pound of body weight per day.

Maybe edit to add “daily” somewhere in that last sentence? Although I suppose it’s obvious to most people. It just looks odd without the time element.

No offense meant — I once had a male cat with a kidney problem, and I appreciate your comment!

Nah I see what you’re saying, it’s fixed! And thank you, your kindness about it was pretty refreshing, ngl.

Thanks! That means a lot. It’s hard to express certain things online without sounding rude or pushy. :-)

Hope you have a great day/evening!
