"Do cats even drink water?" After all, don't all the movies show cartoon cats happily lapping up warm milk? Don't believe everything you see on television. Most cats are actually lactose intolerant and should be consuming approximately 3.5-4.5 ounces of water per five pounds of body weight every day to stay hydrated. So, if your cat is 10 pounds, they should be consuming close to 10 ounces of water a day, the size of a full Starbucks tall cup. Not sponsored. What To Feed Your Kitten From Birth To Adulthood Specific hydration needs can differ from household to household, though, especially if your cat is eating wet food instead of dry food. Wet cat food can contain up to 80 percent water, according to the ASPCA, meaning your kitty may get part of their daily fluids at breakfast, lunch, or dinnertime. Still, it's important to have clean water readily available for them to access throughout the day. That's where picking the perfect cat water bowl comes in. Whether you're in the market for convenience or style, we've got a list of the best cat water bowls, including a cat water bowl fountain, an automatic cat water bowl, and even a spill-proof cat water bowl.
