I believe that cat owners at home will find that cats seem to have a special liking for toilet water. They lie by the toilet every day and drink toilet water, and do not drink the water you pour it into the bowl. Why is this? It makes many pet owners feel confused. Let me reveal the secret to you - cats’ understanding of different water at home.
Water in cat bowls, "horse urine" does not drink
Cats are very hygienic animals, and they are uniquely picky about drinking water. The water in the cat's bowl may become stale because it has not been replaced for a long time, and may even be stained with the cat's own saliva or food residue. In this case, the cat may dislike the water in the bowl, regard it as "horse urine" in the eyes of the cat, and instead look for other sources of water.
The owner's cup of water, "Guojiao"
The cats are curious about their owner's behavior, and when the owner drinks water, they may want to try it. In addition, the water in the owner's cup may have a master's taste, which makes the cat feel friendly and safe. Therefore, cats may steal the water from their owner’s cup and see it as a delicious treat.
Foot wash water, "hoof flower soup"
Cats are curious about the flowing water, and foot wash water may be a source of water they find when observing their owners taking a bath. Of course, the cat doesn't know that this is foot washing water, but treats it as a fresh source of water. However, as owners, we certainly do not want cats to drink this water, because foot washing water may contain soap or other chemicals, which are harmful to the cat's body. The water from the faucet, "fountain", a shallow taste of the water that cats like to move because their ancestors lived in the wild, and the flowing water means less bacteria and safer drinking water. Therefore, cats may enjoy drinking water under the tap and treating this water as a valuable resource. Of course, as owners, we should ensure the water quality of the faucet to prevent cats from drinking contaminated water.
The water in the toilet, "fairy water", is buried in the head and drinking
Cats' obsession with toilet water may be due to their curiosity. Toilet water may have a special odor, which makes the cat think it is a fresh source of water. However, toilet water contains a lot of chemicals and bacteria, which is harmful to the cat's body. Therefore, as owners, we should try our best to prevent our cats from drinking toilet water and provide them with fresh and clean drinking water.
The cat drinks toilet water, and it will come to lick you, and you will hold the cat and kiss it without knowing it. This... Forget it, don't think about it carefully!
Cats' understanding of the different waters at home comes from their curiosity and survival instinct. As owners, we should pay attention to the drinking water needs of cats, regularly change the water in cat bowls, and provide them with fresh and clean drinking water to ensure the health of the cats.
