the drinking bowls
After playing, you should take a big drink of water to regain your cat strength. With these Tabby Tiger ceramic drinking bowls, your pet tiger will do this in the greatest style. Each bowl is made of ceramic finished with a matte glaze and equipped with a stylish bamboo holder, which gives it a beautiful Scandinavian look.
However, water is just as important to a cat's survival as it is to that of humans. 60-70% of their body weight is water. If your cat's current water bowl is deep and narrow, it may touch her whiskers, which is uncomfortable. The Tabby Tijger drinking bowl has a wider surface so that there is more space to drink.
How much should your cat drink per day?
The amount of water your cat needs to drink depends on her size, activity level, health and diet. If you're having trouble getting your cat to drink water, there are a few ways to encourage her.
Place drinking bowls EVERYWHERE!
Location is essential. Place a few water bowls such as the Tabby Tijger drinking bowls throughout your home. Do not place water bowls near her litter box. This can make her feel uncomfortable and cause her to stop eating, drinking, and using her litter box. She also doesn't like having her food and water bowl close together.
Make sure there is the same amount of water in the bowl every day.
Stay consistent with maintaining the water level. Do not let it go down to the last few drops, nor fill it to the brim one day and then only half the next. Stay consistent. Some cats start dipping paws because they are unsure where the top of the water is on any given day. Cats like consistency in their daily routine.
Fresh water, every day!
Fill the bowl with fresh water daily. Cats are very sensitive to taste and if the water sits for too long it will taste stale. Food and dirt particles can build up in the water, which can affect the taste and also provide the opportunity for bacteria to build up. Dipping your cat's paw in water also contributes to bacteria build-up, as that paw may contain dirt, dust and grime from being in the litter box or just coming from the garden.
Clean the drinking bowl every day.
It's fine to add fresh water every day, but also clean the bowl itself every day. Hair, dirt, saliva and food can stick to the sides. Wash the bowl with a drop of dishwashing liquid and then thoroughly rinse out all traces of soap before refilling it with fresh water. Traces of dish soap can burn the cat's tongue and also give the water an unpleasant taste. So pay attention!
