my cat wont drink

[Lof]

can anyone advise me what to do with my cat as she will not drink for me at all

Add a little tuna water to the bowl. Cats LOOOOVE tuna.

Is your cat sick? Maybe it is trying to tell you somenthing.

Many cats like to lick ice cubes.

If your cat isn't drinking at all, get her to a vet. That is not normal. Does she appear sick and/or lethargic? If so, don't waste time. Get her to your vet now.

PLEASE RUSH HER TO THE VETS ASAP, AS THAT COULD WELL BE THE BEGINNINGS OF KIDNEY FAILURE THAT CLAIMED MY PRECIOUS ONE.

PLEASE GET HER THERE SOOOON!!!!

Need more information. How long has your cat not been drinking?

Please update as soon as possible - and get your cat to the vet.

You didn't tell us enough to try and help you.

Use a syringe to get some water into her and see if that makes her feel better and will begin. If she is not eating, also use a syringe to give her some nutrical.

I have started heating up her cat milk and she's taking asmall bowl everyday and she seems a lotperkier so thanks guys!

[Catty1]

Have you tested her to see if she is hydrated enough?

Gently pull a bit of skin up on the back of her neck and let it go. If it goes back into place right away, she has enough liquid. The slower it returns to normal, the more dehydrated she is.

Glad to hear she is perkier!

Hi, I agree that milk is not a great option for a cat. I'm wondering if it could have something to do with the water itself. You could pick up some bottled water at a convenience store and put that in a dish and see if your cat goes for it.
As someone else mentioned, the dish used can really make a difference. Cats generally don't like their whiskers to touch the edges when they are eating or drinking. Plastic dishes may effect the taste of the water so you might want to switch to ceramic if you haven't already.
The suggestion catlady posted about adding water to wet food is something I do, just to make the wet food stretch since I have a few cats and it can get pretty expensive. They really seem to prefer the 'soupier' supper, especially if it is the cat tuna.

You could also try to put her bowl in a different place, some cats won't drink next to their food bowl. Or use a glass for her water.

Good luck!
