Cat Owners Come Up With Creative Ways To Trick Their Cats Into Drinking Water

If you're reading this, this is your daily reminder to drink water and stay hydrated. Not only do we need to drink water to literally survive, but hydration plays a huge role in our mental health as well. When our body is dehydrated, we can't think straight. We hyperfocus on all the wrong things and everything feels off. Drinking enough water is critical in managing stress, anxiety, and focus. And guess what? Our cataroos need water too!

We recently stumbled upon a fellow cat lady who took to TikTok to share her handy dandy ways to get her cat to drink water. In her video, she mentions that cats don't like to drink still water because they think it's dirty. So she decided to put her own spin on the cat water fountain; she put a toy fish in the water bowl so that it could create a wave-like effect while simultaneously entertaining the cat.

We think this is a fabulous idea! Not only is this a great way to get your cat to drink water, but we bet it's pretty entertaining for them as well. We wonder if the cat knows it's a toy fish or if he thinks he made it in life and mom finally let him drink out of the fish bowl?

Ahh, classic cats being cats. You must admit, it's pretty frikkin adorable that they act as if they're literal babies. Whatever you're doing, eating, or have - they want a piece too. Actually, scratch that, they want the entire thing.
