As people's attention to pet health gradually increases, pet owners are also beginning to notice the importance of providing pets with clean and safe drinking water. However, there are some common misconceptions that can lead us to mistakenly believe that certain water sources are harmless and even beneficial to cats. In fact, giving cats regular drinking certain water is equivalent to chronic suicide. This article will introduce several common "fatal" drinking water and provide the right way to drink it.

First, tap water contains a large amount of chemical substances and additives, such as chlorine, lead, cadmium, etc. These chemicals can have serious impacts on cat health when consumed for a long time. Cats' kidneys are very sensitive to these chemicals, so regular drinking of tap water can lead to impaired kidney function and even cause renal failure. In addition, the chlorine in tap water can destroy beneficial bacteria in cats' mouths, making them susceptible to oral diseases.

Secondly, although well water or groundwater may seem clear, it may contain various harmful substances such as bacteria, parasites, and heavy metals. These substances accumulate in cats and will lead to decreased immunity and are prone to infection with various diseases. At the same time, heavy metals in well water or groundwater can also cause damage to the cat's liver and nervous system.

Again, bottled water or filtered water provided by a drinker may seem clean and safe, but this water source is not suitable for long-term drinking for cats. Bottled water often contains a certain amount of sodium, and cats cannot effectively eliminate too much sodium. Long-term intake of too much sodium will increase the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure in cats. In addition, the mineral concentration in these water sources is low, and long-term drinking may cause cats to lack the necessary minerals and trace elements.

So, how to provide safe and healthy drinking water for cats?

First, it is best to use filtered cold boiled water for the cat to drink. You can use a household filter to filter tap water to remove harmful substances such as residual chlorine, heavy metals, etc. However, it should be noted that the service life of the filter is limited, and it is necessary to replace the filter element regularly. In addition, during summer heat, the water in the drinking water container should be kept clean and replaced frequently to prevent bacteria from growing.

Secondly, mineral water can be provided to cats. The mineral content in mineral water is relatively high, which helps to supplement cats' nutritional needs. However, you need to pay attention to whether mineral water contains too much sodium. It is safer to choose mineral water with low sodium.

Finally, it is very important to prepare fresh water for cats every day. Cats are very sensitive to the smell of water. If you find that the cat doesn't like to drink, change it in time.

Pet cats are part of our family and we all want to give them the best living conditions. However, when caring for pet cats, there are some common misconceptions that may lead us to mistakenly believe that certain water sources are harmless and even beneficial to cats. But in fact, giving cats these kinds of water regularly is equivalent to setting them a plan for chronic suicide! Let me spread it to you.

First, tap water contains various chemical substances, such as chlorine, lead, etc. Although it may not be a big problem for humans, it is not very good for cats. Cats' kidneys are very sensitive to these chemicals, and drinking tap water for a long time may cause kidney failure. Imagine that your cat is undergoing a "health toxin baptism" without your knowledge. It's such a terrible idea!

Secondly, well water or groundwater may appear clear and transparent, but it may contain a variety of bacteria and parasites. Once these cute little things enter the cat's body, they will reproduce freely inside, causing the cat's immunity to decrease and it is easy to get sick. Therefore, when your cat drinks well water, you have to be careful, it is undergoing a "microbiological paradise journey"!

Finally, bottled water or filtered water may seem safe, but don't forget that cats have limited sodium processing power. Excessive sodium intake for a long time can increase the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure in cats. So, don’t let your cat become a “sodium lover”!

So, what kind of water is suitable for cats?

First, giving your cats a filtered cold water is a good choice. The water treated in this way can remove harmful substances such as residual chlorine, heavy metals, etc. Remember, the filter element of the filter must be replaced regularly, otherwise you will become a model of "filter lazy people"!

Secondly, you can consider giving your cat mineral water. Mineral water is rich in minerals, which is of great help to cats' health. However, you still have to pay attention to the sodium content! Choose low-sodium mineral water to keep your cat away from the danger of high blood pressure.

Finally, remember to provide fresh water to your cat every day. Cats are very sensitive to the smell of water. If you find that your cat doesn’t like drinking water, you have to think about how to tease it!

So, dear cat slaves, starting today, please provide safe and healthy drinking water for your cats!
