Daily Dose of Cat: Your Cats Personal Water Butler
🐾 Daily Dose of Cat: Your Cat's Personal Water Butler
Macaron has a perfectly good water bowl. Fresh water. Available 24/7.
But no. His Majesty prefers running water. From the tap. Personally served by a human.
🐾 Why do cats love running water?
Moving water makes interesting sounds, catches the light, and may seem fresher than water sitting in a bowl. Some cats are fascinated by the movement. Others simply develop a preference.
And there's some interesting biology behind it. Cats evolved from desert-adapted ancestors and have a relatively low thirst drive. They naturally get much of their water from prey. Modern cats eating mostly dry food may not drink enough to compensate.
That's why wet food, multiple water stations, and cat fountains can help encourage hydration.
But Macaron has discovered something even better than a fountain.
A human-operated faucet.
And cats are excellent at training humans. Once Macaron learns that sitting by the sink produces running water, guess what he'll do tomorrow?
We bought the house. We pay the water bill.
Macaron owns the faucet 🍷
