Hey!

My cat Starla didn't like drinking water out of her dish either. She would
try to drink out of the toilet but its been kinda clogged for a while so the
water level is low and she didn't have that option. Anyways, one night I
had set a cup of water on my nightstand and as im trying to fall asleep, I
hear a lapping by my face. She was drinking out of the cup. She has
continued doing that and I got kinda sick of injesting cat hair and spit so
I gave her her own cup on the nightstand. It's always there now full of
water and she drinks like crazy. Something about if a cat finds the water
himself/herself they are more likely to drink it.

Anyways that's my technique and it WORKS.

One day when I was sitting on the can, I noticed my kitty displaying
some strange behavior. She jumped up onto the sink and into the bowl (not
unusual), and was trying to lick water from the faucet for the 1st time
(it
doesn't drip at all).

So that kind of told me that she isn't getting enough water from the
Drinkwell fountain (some sites claim you can use the filter indefinitely,
but I guess 6 months is probably 4 months too long). Her pee is very
yellow.

I have been feeding her 2 oz twice a day (dry cat food) all along,
but this time I decided to pour a cup of water (8 oz) into her empty dish
and put the dry food on top. She is kind of apprehensive about seeing her
food floating and moving, so before each meal I take out a spoon and
shovel
up 1 bit of food and some water and keep feeding her til she decides to
eat
the rest on her own. So now she drinks up to 2 cups of water a day that
way! Now her pee is very clear, although I have seen her pee up to 3
times
in 2 hours.

So, does anyone have any questions or comments about my technique?
What is your trick(s) for making yours drink water?
