Why do cats often drink too little?

Cats naturally have a fairly weak sense of thirst. Their ancestors lived in dry areas and got a lot of fluid from their prey. With dry food, that source is missing. What helps: several appealing water stations, fresh water and, for many cats, moving water too, for example from the TREVI water fountain. If you're concerned about your cat's drinking habits, it's best to talk to your vet.

Water fountain or water bowl: Which is better for cats?

That depends on your cat. Some prefer to drink from a fountain because running water seems fresh and sparks their curiosity. Others prefer a calm bowl. It's best to offer both, for example the TREVI water fountain plus a DELI cat bowl in another room. That way, your cat will quickly figure out what it likes.

Where should a cat's water bowl go?

In a quiet spot, not right next to the food and well away from the litter box. Many cats drink more readily when water and food are kept apart. Several water stations around your home are ideal. A bowl that looks good can happily stand in the middle of the room, like the MYCO cat bowl or the DELI cat bowl.

What material is best for a water bowl?

Porcelain and ceramic are a very good choice: the smooth, glazed surface is easy to clean and doesn't absorb odors. A wide, shallow shape is gentle on whiskers. Take a look at the DROP cat bowl, the BOWL porcelain cat bowls or the ceramic MYCO cat bowl.

How often should I clean the water fountain and bowl?

It's best to change the water in the bowl daily and give the bowl a quick rinse at the same time. Clean the water fountain thoroughly on a regular basis, about once a week, and replace the filter as instructed. For the TREVI water fountain, the filter and pump are available separately as spare parts. A bowl mat like SQUARE catches splashes and wipes clean quickly.

Cat Water Fountain & Water Bowl: How to Get Your Cat to Enjoy Drinking

Many cats drink less than you might think. It's in their nature: their ancestors lived in dry regions and got part of the water they needed from their prey. That makes a truly inviting drinking spot all the more important. Running water encourages many cats to drink more often. That's exactly why we designed the TREVI water fountain: made of ceramic, pleasantly quiet and designed so the pump cable doesn't run through the water. Prefer still water? Then the raised DELI cat bowl makes a lovely second water station, as does the ceramic MYCO cat bowl: tip-proof, whisker-friendly and a design piece for your home.

Viele Katzen trinken weniger, als man denkt. Das liegt in ihrer Natur: Ihre Vorfahren lebten in trockenen Regionen und deckten einen Teil ihres Wasserbedarfs über die Beute. Umso wichtiger ist ein Trinkplatz, der wirklich einlädt. Fließendes Wasser animiert viele Katzen, öfter zu trinken. Genau dafür haben wir den TREVI Trinkbrunnen entworfen: aus Keramik, angenehm leise und so gestaltet, dass das Pumpenkabel nicht durchs Wasser läuft. Lieber stilles Wasser? Dann ist der erhöhte DELI Katzennapf eine schöne zweite Wasserstelle, ebenso der MYCO Katzennapf aus Keramik: kippsicher, schnurrhaarfreundlich und ein Designobjekt für dein Zuhause.

Setting Up the Right Drinking Spot: Location, Shape and Material

Cats prefer to drink in a quiet spot, a little away from their food and the litter box. Several water stations around your home increase the chance that your cat will take a sip in between. Shape matters too: wide, shallow bowls like the porcelain DROP cat bowl don't touch sensitive whiskers. When it comes to material, porcelain and ceramic are a good choice because the smooth surface is easy to clean. Our BOWL porcelain cat bowls fit into the DINE and BUFFET feeding stations. That way, food and water sit raised and neatly side by side. To keep your floor dry, there are the SQUARE and CIRCLE bowl mats made of extra-thick silicone.

Katzen trinken am liebsten an einem ruhigen Ort, mit etwas Abstand zum Futter und zum Katzenklo. Mehrere Wasserstellen in der Wohnung erhöhen die Chance, dass deine Katze zwischendurch einen Schluck nimmt. Auch die Form zählt: Breite, flache Schalen wie der DROP Katzennapf aus Porzellan stoßen nicht an die empfindlichen Schnurrhaare. Beim Material sind Porzellan und Keramik eine gute Wahl, denn die glatte Oberfläche ist einfach zu reinigen. Unsere BOWL Porzellan Katzennäpfe passen in die Futterstationen DINE und BUFFET. So stehen Futter und Wasser erhöht und ordentlich nebeneinander. Damit der Boden trocken bleibt, gibt es die Napfunterlagen SQUARE und CIRCLE aus extra dickem Silikon.
