How to Change the Habit of Cats Drinking Dirty Water
Many pet owners have noticed their cats have very strange drinking habits; although the cat bowl clearly has clean, fresh boiled or purified water, the cat insists on drinking toilet water, foot wash water, mop water, tap water, bath water... Here is the solution.
Toilet water, mop water, and bath water must not be allowed for cats to drink; these contain many bacteria, and bath water also has residual bath products. Therefore, always keep the toilet lid closed and dispose of mop and bath water promptly.
When preparing water for your cat, you can choose a larger container, such as a washbasin, or create a circulating water device, which is not very difficult. Try to replace the drinking water daily to ensure its cleanliness.
If your cat likes to drink from the clean water in the pipes and you don't mind, you may let it; however, it is best not to let cats drink directly from tap water.
