Some cats do not fear water. Actually, some, like the Turkish Van, have it in their nature to swim! All cats can swim, but they do not like to. Cats are very clean creatures, and like themselves to be warm and dry. So when a cat gets when they are compulsed to lick themself dry.

Some cats, even those that are not Turkish Vans, may just like water.

Quite simply: She is feeding them, and teaching her kittens valuable lessons in killing prey. Mother cats will gently introduce her kittens to food when they are ready to be weaned: The first stage is bringing a dead mouse for the kittens to eat, and later the mother will bring live mice for the kittens to practice and learn how to dispatch prey quickly and effectively.

Cats will usually do this to mark their territory To protect against other cats

Your cat may also be doing this out of stress/reaction when being chased, if s/he is being harassed by other cats or animals in your house.

Ah, the toy in the water problem! Just like humans, most cats drink when they eat. Big cats in the wild get liquid from the animal's blood, so they don't need a source of water until later. But domesticated cats often bring 'prey' to a water source. Here, the toy mouse is its prey.


Cats will also bring you, the "Alpha cat" in its cat family, its prey. So don't be surprised if your cat catches a real mouse that it brings it to you first before trying to eat it. (ugh).

Is it ok to bathe your cats?

It is perfectly okay to bathe your cats. The only problem is, cats hate water, the cat will not like the bath, and whatever you do, don't put water on your cat's head/face. Also do not submerge your cat in water.


What do you need for your pet to travel with no problems?

its depending on a cat/dog/mouse/guinea pig. guinea pig's or mice shouldn't be a problem just simply get a portable cage and fill it's with anything the other cage had. if it's a cat its up to you. if you feel your cat might be a bother to others you would put them in the luggage compartment. if its a dog SORRY it would HAVE TO be put in the luggage compartment. ALWAYS fill cage or carrier with news paper water and food.

How do cats drink water?

they lap their tongue in it, to give your cat water just put it in a food bowl (the same type you would use for food) and your cat should drink it. Not the same one you use for their food though!!! And keep both clean, the bowls and the food and the water.


Your hamster is dehydrated how can you hydrate it?

I'm sorry to hear about your hamster and hopefully this will help! Hydrating your hamster shouldn't be too hard. Just make sure the little creature always has nice cool water in it's water bottle. If you don't have a water bottle you can just put water in a dish for him. Sometimes if you put water in a dish though, your hamster might knock it down, but and some pet shops they sell heavy dishes that it can't knock down. Just give it plenty of water and refill it everyday for the next three days and the thirsty guy should be fine! I hope it works out for you!
