My Siamese boy, Ming, was never a big drinker and used to get blockages from time to time. He is now on meds, but the vet suggested getting a fountain and see if that got him to drink Yep, sure did. He is now at the fountain at least three times per day. Try that. All of my cats love the fountain! Kimba, my youngest, also likes to drink from the faucet. He likes his water "on tap", so I leave a slight trickle of water coming out from the bathroom faucet for him. Cats have their peculiarities all right.
