2. Keep Your Cat Hydrated
“Cats are notorious for not drinking enough water, which can lead to kidney problems and urinary tract infections,” says Vet Sophie Bell.
– Provide fresh water daily: Change your cat’s water at least once a day to keep it fresh.
– Invest in a cat water fountain: Many cats are attracted to running water. A cat water fountain can encourage them to drink more.
– Wet food: Incorporating wet food into your cat’s diet can help with hydration, as it contains more moisture than dry food.
– Use raised food and water bowls: “Elderly cats are often arthritic, it is estimated 90% of cats over the age of 12 have arthritic changes and pain, raising their water and food bowls to elbow height would help them immensely,” advises Vet Sophie Bell.
