Get your cat a drinking fountain
Cats instinctively prefer running water over standing water as, in nature, standing water can contain harmful bacteria that could make your feline friend ill. Simply getting your cat a fountain to drink from will increase their water intake and can even help prevent kidney issues. Just make sure to change the filter twice a week and to clean the pump regularly.
Serve your cat wet food
Did you know that wet food for cats consists of 70-80% moisture? By simply replacing part of or all of your cat’s kibble with wet food, you can significantly increase their water intake. Be sure to change your cat’s diet gradually as an abrupt change can lead to an upset tummy.
Spoil your cat with hydrating treats
While the most common cat treats are those crunchy pillow types, Catit offers a full range of high-protein, moisture-rich options designed to help your cat cool down and stay hydrated. Our meat-packed and come in convenient, no-mess tubes, while Catit Creamy Cups combine a smooth meaty paste with real fruit chunks, delivering a hydrating boost packed with vitamins and protein.
Turn cat treats into icy rewards
Don’t serve your cat regular ice cream meant for humans as it’s high in fat and sugar, and can upset your cat’s digestive system. Instead, freeze your cat’s favorite treats!
Just pop a tube of Catit Creamy or Catit Creamy Superfoods into the freezer, and in about an hour’s time, you’ll have a deliciously hydrating ice pop your cat will love. Does your cat prefer ice bonbons? Fill the Catit Creamy Ice Tray and freeze for homemade ice bonbons or freeze some Catit Creamy Cups for a surprising and hydrating cat snack.
Have some fun with ice cubes
Winter or summer, many cats are fascinated by ice cubes. Just pop a few onto a plastic tray and watch as your cat bats them around or licks them for a fun and refreshing way to stay hydrated. It’s a simple enrichment activity that also helps support your cat’s daily water intake.
