Can a cat drink dirty water?

Answer 1

Cats dont always drink from taps.Mabye it is your cat that does it.If you would like to then go to the vet.He/she will be a professional on animals.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cats cannot see still water sitting in a bowl, which is why you often see them putting a paw in the water bowl before drinking it. That paw gives the water the ripple and motion necessary for them to see it and drink it. Cats can see running and/or moving water, which explains why the cat drinks from a spigot.

Or you could take the cat to a vet and ask this question, thereby looking like an idiot and wasting money.

Answer 2

Cats do not really care if their water is purified or not. The instinct is to find and drink water when they need it, but they are not fussy about its taste, as long as they can discern that there is nothing in the water that can harm them.

Answer 3

Giving a cat water to drink is what you should provide for them. So yes, water is good for cats.

Yes , but be sure the water is safe for consumption .
