Lucy.. Tag (the cat) is very stingy with his snuggles, LOL. HE decides when and if he wants them. Both dogs give him "loves" whenever they can though.

Informal cat-owners' survey: Your cat's drinking habits.

Q: Where does your cat get his or her water? Do you use special water or tap water? Does your cat drink very much water? Does your cat drink any other beverages?

My own answers: I use tap-water, in our case, well water. My house cat has a water dish, but prefers to drink water dripping in the bathtub! She seems to drink a LOT of water in the tub, and ignores the water dish in the kitchen. My cat occasionally drinks a little milk, and by that I mean a teaspoonful only. She does love ice cream, however.

I have a bowl of fresh water beside their food dish. I also have a Petmate water fountain that they enjoy in another room. If there was a plug outlet where their food is I would just have the water fountain. They sometimes like a drink from the bathroom sink. We used to use bottled water for both us and the cats but gave that up some time ago. I figure my guys drink normal amounts of water. I don't give them anything else to drink.

My kitty drinks tap water from a cup in the bathroom (don't worry, I have my own cup on the opposite side of the sink). She never drinks out of her water bowl by her food. I'm always worried that she doesn't drink enough water. She never drinks anything else, besides an occasional beer on Friday nights, jk.

Thanks to Moon's good advice, my cats drink out of water fountains (available online or at the pet store). They like it much better than the old water dishes, and they drink much more water this way!

My cat - much to DH's chagrin - will no longer drink from anywhere but my "water cup" (which she has to get to by coming on the coffee table) or a water pitcher that we keep full and fresh for her in the kitchen. He will laugh when i tell him that we do not have the only spoiled kitty!
she seems to be getting her daily dose full, so I am not worried. It jsut makes me mad if there is just a little bit of water in the bottom that her head cannot get to, she politely uses her paw to bring it tumbling over where she licks up the remains.

Water drinking all depends on which cat.

Shinobi will only drink from the water next to the food. I use the upside-down-jug-in-bowl feeders for both. The other two will also drink from this bowl.

Kitty and Wheezer also like their fountain that I have on a towel in the living room.

When I am cleaning the fishtanks, Wheezer likes to help by cleaning the side with her tongue.

My mom's cat, Dirk, likes his water in a cup on her bathroom sink.

All above mentioned felines get tap water. While I have bottled water, I figure the flouride in the tap water can only help their teeth out.

Here is Miss Wheezer drinking from her fountain:

Oh, and as for amounts, Wheezer and Shinobi drink normal amounts - Kitty drinks slightly more, but she is diabetic.

Drinking fountain click here

They seem to have the best prices:)

Fresh water is the healthiest thing for cats especially male kitties who tend to have kidney problems when they get older.

I use the 39.95 fountain on the link I gave with arrowhead bottle water... my kitties do not have kidney problems:)
