Bigmaya, What a lovely response. Praying for you & your husband this a.m. I have a question as it sounds like you have had a long life with cats. Mine will simply not drink
water. He is on prescription Royal Canin canned food for his bladder and it has gravy in it, so I add the hydracare from Purina as well. Any suggestions to get him to drink water? Thank you precious lady! Hugs & Prayers...."People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care". -author unknown

My cat drinks some water every day, but his favorite is a bit of milk.

My Missy doesn't drink much water and it makes her constipated, so when I give her wet food twice a day she gets it in a bowl with some psyllium husk and a lot of hot water (I call it 'soup'). She hates getting a mouthful of husks so I have to mash and mix it well. Her preferences vary, so I put out options and usually she goes for one or another -- tap water in one corner of the kitchen, filtered water at the base of her tree, bottled water beside her kibble dish. She always likes things clean, so I do a lot of that. Also, she seems to like the smaller containers ... might be so she doesn't have to put much effort into keeping her whiskers dry.

Hello CS,
I'm so stressed that l don't remember if l responded to you about your cat's water issues😺Sorry🙏
I will ask our terrific, wonderful, amazing vet about it and let you know.
