Why doesn’t my cat like to drink water?
Multiple factors can contribute towards your cat's dislike or avoidance of drinking water.
Some of the most common reasons can include, cleanliness of the water, location of the pet bowl, and underlying health problems, even the taste or flow of the water.
Cats are notorious for their high standards, if still water has become contaminated with dust, bacteria or germs, or has been placed too close to food the taste of the water can become tainted.
This can lead to your cats avoiding the water bowl due to the water’s unpleasant taste.
