    filtered water

    one of my cats had crystals in her urine some time back and the vet said tap water is not good, it has too much calcium, that can cause crystals and bladder problems. I only give my cats filtered water now, too bad because 3 of them used to love to drink form the faucet

    if your cats like drinking moving water from the faucet, they'd probably enjoy one of the pet fountains filled with the filtered water. My cats drank a lot of water when I had the fountain going. I just got tired of having to fill it up all the time a I can't seem to find any larger ones here locally.

    I use Brita water for my kitties. Many years ago, I had a roommate...she had two cats, I had one. I had a huge room as a bedroom, so kept Dave in there (the cat). I would let him out occasionally though, and he would make a beeline for the other cats' water dish. I told Dave he had water already...my roommate then said that she used filtered water. She said cats like it - it tastes more like rainwater cause there isn't any 'people additives' in it.

    There are generic pitchers and filters now...some pitchers that are in great shape can be found in second hand stores. I just wash them with hot water, soap and some bleach, and rinse well. They work great.

    I tried that, spent $50, it was a no go!

    Our tap water has lots of chlorine in it. My very first cat ever, Amber (RB Mr. Amber Cat) refused to drink it. So I would get spring water for him and I . . . used the tap water! After a bit, I realized that was nuts, so I bought a Brita. I use that for everything now.

    Chestnut and Crystal still enjoy it from the tap.
