Have you had a similar experience after getting a cat?
Cats don’t like to drink water from their own bowls, and even if you replace your cat with clean water every day, they don’t seem to be very interested in drinking water.
And what kind of water do cats like to drink?
I love drinking toilet water, and I also love drinking the water in the shoveler’s cup.
A shit shovel officer left a message for me. He said that he had two cats at home, and now he sneaks to the bathroom to drink toilet water every day.
At first only one cat could drink, and it didn’t take long for another cat to be affected.
So the two cats crossed each other’s shoulders every day, sneakily looking for opportunities to drink toilet water.
As long as the shit shoveler forgets to close the bathroom door, the cat must be hiding inside.
The comment from the shit shovel officer also reminded me of a cat raising experience.
It was one night when I woke up sleepy and went to the bathroom; the door was playing, so I opened the door, and the three cats in the house swooshed out from my feet.
At that moment, I was terrified and sleepy.
About the reason behind the cat drinking toilet water, the shit shoveling officer must understand, this is the cold knowledge of cat raising.
1. Cats think running water is cleaner
Some shit shoveling officers don’t often brush the cat’s drinking bowl, which causes the cat to have an illusion:
“My cat bowl hasn’t been brushed for so long, and the water in it is definitely not clean.”
The toilet water is used every day by the shovel officer, and it is flushed every time it is used up.
This makes the cat mistakenly think that the water in the toilet is clean compared to the water in the bowl.
Not only that, when cats live in the wild, they are more willing to obtain running water and find running water to drink.
2. There is a smell of disinfectant in the toilet
do you know? Cats are very sensitive to the smell of some disinfectants, which can make cats “up”.
You can try mopping the floor with 84 disinfectant, and you will find that when you mop the floor, the cat’s mood has obviously become “excited”.
This is because the smell in the disinfectant will stimulate the cat’s brain and make the cat excited.
Although it is not as forceful as catnip, cats are also very good at the smell of disinfectant.
If your toilet is used to cleaning with disinfectant, the smell will attract cats at this time.
in other words:
What interests cats may not only be toilet water, but also the smell of disinfectant water used to clean the toilet.
3. Cats are curious about everything
One of the joys of raising a cat is that the shoveling officer can feel the curiosity of the cat and get more happiness from the cat.
How curious are cats? They will be interested in all the bells and whistles.
The sound of flushing the toilet, the running water in the toilet, the shit shoveling officer shutting himself in the bathroom, etc.
These behaviors will attract the cat’s curiosity and attention.
How does the shit shovel officer change the cat’s bad habits and mobilize the cat’s enthusiasm for drinking water?
First of all, be sure to close the toilet every time you use it.
This is to solve the problem from the source. The cat has no chance to touch it, and of course, the behavior of the cat drinking toilet water is avoided.
Second, brush your cat’s drinking bowl every day.
Only if the cat’s own tools are kept clean, the cat will be interested in drinking water; if the bowl is dirty and there is a smell that the cat does not like, how can the cat have the desire to drink water?
Finally, you can “build” a flowing water source for the cat.
Instead of buying an automatic water dispenser, I bought a “mini oxygenator”.
It is a small oxygenator placed in the fish tank, and then replace the cat with a larger drinking bowl, and then put the oxygenator in the bowl.
The water keeps bubbling, and cats are naturally interested in this water source.
