Tuna flavored water?

It seems to me I've heard people mention giving their cats tuna flavored
water to get them to drink more water. Does anyone know where to find such
a thing?

From a can of tuna packed in water?

There's really no need to make a cat drink more water. They're not
people(er, human) and don't have as much need for water as we do.
Unless your cat has a medical problem that makes him dehydrated, don't
worry too much about it. Some cats drink a lot, and some don't. My
sister's cats drank a lot (and peed a lot), while the Princess Rita
hardly drinks at all. She's perfectly healthy.

Persia never liked tuna so tuna flavoured water wouldn't interest her in the
least. She drinks a lot of water from the Drinkwell fountain. Really laps
it up

Molly won't touch canned tuna, or canned cat food for that matter.
But she will lick at the gravy from the cat food, and at the water
drained off the tuna.

Now, fresh tuna, that's another matter entirely. Little girl likes
her sashimi.

That's where I've been getting it. Unfortunately, I run out of tuna water
long before I run out of tuna, so there are long dry spells. Pickles has
been complaining about that.

Well, every time I take a cat to the vet, she says he's dehydrated.
However, that isn't the reason I want it. I opened a can of tuna recently
and gave the cats the water I drained off. Pickles has been crying for more
ever since it ran out.

To counteract the salt in the brine of canned tuna in brine, would it be
a total waste if you added some hot water to a little bit of tuna and
let it "steep" (and cool off) for a while? The hot water would probably
get more flavour out of the tuna than cold water would. It wouldn't be
as salty, there would be some tuna flakes in the water, but would that
be a plus or a minus, I don't know...

A number of websites advise against giving a cat tuna water. One
reason is the high sodium content. We gave it to our kitties until we
learned that it's not good for them. Same as cow's milk, but for
different reasons

KFC hardly drank at all until she got kidney problems. Neither does
Boyfriend until less I give a dry meal.
I have a bowl of water in the kitchen all the time and he can help himself
to it as and when.
I always feed/fed my cat/s wet food, that probably helps with not wanting or
needing much water.
I don't think I would encourage Pickles to want more tuna water.

You need to ask the vet why she thinks your cats are dehydrated - are you
feeding them entirely on dry food?
