[07:41] IsambardPrince Since I already have the filter system I just give them the filtered water too. [07:42] IsambardPrince You want the cat to be encouraged to drink when you're feeding it the kibble because it needs to get more water from drinking water than if you were feeding it moist food from cans. [07:43] IsambardPrince Cats have a pretty lousy internal thirst mechanism because their biology assumes they're getting more moisture from their prey than kibble has. [07:43] IsambardPrince So there's various things you can do to trick that out, like make the water taste better or even get one of those bowls with a fountain in it. [07:44] IsambardPrince Cats are more curious about moving water. That's not a mistake. [07:44] IsambardPrince In nature water that's flowing is not stagnant. Stagnant water is dangerous. [07:44] IsambardPrince Water that's colder is likely from far below ground, which is also better than surface water. [07:44] IsambardPrince So people prefer water that's cold. [07:45] IsambardPrince I always keep three gallons of filtered water between two containers in my fridge. I fill the empty and rotate the cold one to the left.
