Since cats naturally love meat, rehydrated raw food lets cats take in enough water through their daily diet, tastes better, and also solves the problem of some fussy cats that dislike dry food<\/p>\n<p>~ You can also change the drinking equipment<\/p>\n<p>1: Cat water fountain<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Many cats like clean, flowing water, and a fountain provides exactly that; the sound of running water can also catch their attention (of course owners still need to change the clean water frequently and check whether the fountain&#8217;s filter needs replacing)<\/p>\n<p>2: Mind where you place the water bowl<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Most cats are very clean, so owners should make sure the water bowl is not placed near the bin or toilet<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Clean the water bowl regularly and change the water at least twice a day; a surface free of visible dust should encourage them to drink more<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Some owners try placing several cups of water in different corners of the home, which really does get cats to drink more \u2014 give it a try<\/p>\n<p>*Wishing all owners and their cats good health<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcpets.com.hk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/thrivemix.png\" alt=\"thrivemix\" width=\"163\" height=\"99\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/shop?product_cat=thrive-natural-canned-cat-food\">Click here to view Thrive natural cat staple cans<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcpets.com.hk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/mix_1.png\" alt=\"mix 1\" width=\"175\" height=\"105\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/shop?product_cat=monge-natural-canned-cat-food\">\u00a0Click here to view Monge natural cat cans<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcpets.com.hk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cat-SalmonChicken.jpg\" alt=\"Cat-SalmonChicken\" width=\"129\" height=\"129\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=204&amp;Itemid=7\">Click here to view <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcpets.com.hk\/shop\/en\/product-category\/natural-cat-food\/stella-chewys-cat-food\/\">Stella &amp;
