Hey guys! My poor cat (9 year old American shorthair) recently was adopted from another family, just before I moved. So, she's moved three times in the last few months. She is very stressed, and since the most recent move, she hasn't been drinking w
Congratulations on your new addition! If you haven't previously fed 100% canned food before, you may not be used to how infrequently cats will drink water. My cats are also on a 100% canned food diet, and I rarely see them drink water (maybe once a week). That is because they get almost all the moisture they need from the canned food. It is important to have fresh water available to her at all times, but I would not be worried about not seeing a cat on 100% canned food not drink. If you're concerned, you might consider adding some water to her caned food or adding a running fountain since most cats prefer that to drink from. If Bronte seems stressed otherwise, you could try a couple of things. One option for decreasing stress is to add a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) to your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. I have also had luck with Rescue Remedy ( http://www.bachflower.com/rescue-remedy-pet/ ) which can be added to the food. You co

Hi I just adopted a 6 month old female tabby from my local animal shelter on Saturday. She doesn’t seem to be drinking any water and I want to make sure she doesn’t get dehydrated.
Helen is adorable! I would make sure she is eating wet food and if she is don't worry to much about drinking water. There is a lot of water in wet food and if she is eating that she shouldn't get dehydrated. If she is eating dry food and not drinking then I would recommend adding some water to her dry food. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

How can I get my cat to drink water? She won't drink much.
Hello. The trend now is to feed cats primarily a wet/canned diet as cats will obtain more than 80% of their liquid requirements this way. This is because domestic cats are actually closer to their wild, desert born ancestors. Cats originally came from the desert so free, fresh water was very rare. So they depended on their "wet" prey to stay hydrated. Most veterinary nutritionist do recommend a totally wet diet to their feline patients now. If you can not switch Lila over to a completely wet diet, then offering her chicken & beef stocks or broths & occasionally tuna water may keep her drinking more. Pet fountains are also an excellent idea as it is proven that cats will drink more water if it is moving. Hope this helps thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Our 3 year old cat is refusing to drink but will eat. She goes up to the faucet and asks for it to be turned on, moves toward it but then won't drink once you do. She had distemper a couple months ago but had fully recovered and gained back all of he
I'd feed Cupquake canned food, or add some low sodium gently warmed chicken broth to her dry food. I'd also recommend getting her a pet water fountain. It provides a continuous source of fresh water, and encourages the cat to drink. I have one for my cats, and they love it. You can get one at a pet store. I hope this helps.
