Will cats drink from a hamster type water bottle2007-11-25 12:33:14

My cat is always looking for running water and won't drink out of her water dish. If I get her a water bottle that you would find in a hamster cage will she drink from that?

Answers:

Yes, they will. I recently flew my animals across country and bought them both (1cat, 1 dog) a "hamster style" water bottle to keep them hydrated though the flight. Go to Petsmart or Petco and you can find ones specially made for dogs and cats.

my cats do the same thing. really annoying when i try to brush my teeth. that sounds like a good idea as long as the metal tip of the bottle doesn't mess up their tongue.

some do,I guess,but who would dumb enough to do that except for hamsters?

She might. If you start them as kittens they will. I found a dish that circulates water in the dish so it looks like it is running water.

this web site has them:

they will drink from it, I have to cats and they do. they were also not trained from kittens. just show them and they will learn that water comes from there. sort of like when i tap the cat food can they know is food time.
