How much water does a cat drink every day?

How much water does a cat drink every day? This is a common problem because water is the key to the health and happiness of cats. Generally speaking, an adult cat should drink enough water every day, which is about 60-80 ml/kg of the cat's weight, that is, a 4 kg cat needs to drink 240-320 ml of water every day.

However, for each cat, the amount of water required per day may be slightly different. The amount of water it drinks will be affected by the following factors:

1. diet. If a cat eats dry cat food, it will need more water to stay healthy. On the contrary, if a cat eats wet food, it may drink less water because the wet food itself contains more water.

2. Environment. Hot weather and low humidity may make cats more thirsty, so they may drink more water.

3. Health status. Cats suffer from certain diseases, such as kidney disease and urinary tract infection, which will cause them to need more water to stay healthy.

Therefore, for each cat, the amount of water needed every day is different. The owner needs to observe the amount of water each cat drinks. If cats are found to drink less or more water, they need to consult veterinarians in time to ensure their health. Most importantly, the owner should always provide fresh water for the cat, change and clean the basin regularly to ensure that the cat always has enough clean and fresh water to drink.
