Friendly reminder to give your cats fresh water in this heat! They need fresh water just like we do :)

Even if not hot one should still give pets fresh water.
- look at fancy pants here, having access to fresh water!!

I just have aquariums.
Like I also have a water fountain in the kitchen just for them made of old aquarium filter parts, but they never touch it. They drink from my bedroom or living room aquariums.
Maybe they like that the water is plant filtered, maybe they just like to be dicks, whatever the reason they only drink from aquariums
- fish flavoured
  
  Haha yeah, the tanks they can drink from are just plants an invertebrate life. Shrimp, scuds, seed shrimp. And plants.
  Maybe they like shellfish 😜
  
  It's like lacroix for cats!
- Our livingroom aquarium is a reef tank so is for catertainment purposes only. We do have a big tank water basin thing for the kittes and a large dog bowl if they prefer it. Also, they will sip from the toilet which is gross. The kittes are inside/outside so have outdoor resources as well (considering our NE Zone 6 bizarre torrential rains.. almost tropical rains.
  
  Ah, see my toilets are always covered, my cats are indoor-only, and I haven’t had a dog in decades, so I don’t have weather worries except for my chicken friends (USDA hardiness zone 4, whooo we can’t do shit!) and whatever else.
  And I don’t have the finances to marine a tank lol that shit is wildly expensive, and intensive, and I’m lazy as sin lol so freshwater plant water cubes are what I keep mostly. I have a 55 gal in the kitchen with like 5 live bearing small fish.. I’m not a fish person, I’m a “box of water with some plants in” sort of person :)
  Fwiw tho my USDA zone 4 has been getting monsoon rained the last few years too.. out of season no less. Our monsoon season is winter, so we should get a ton of snow but now we just get rain all the time.

Same if you leave water for the outdoor animals.
- Also put in rocks or sticks so in case little critters fall in, they can climb out!

yes, try to be a good cat owner like me, buy multiple water fountains and spread them around the house so the little rascals have different ones to flip over and make fun puddles everywhere while exclusively drinking shower water... true story
- Ms. Kitten steps into the water bowl. Steps into the water. The flicks her paws around, flinging water everywhere. I turn to her, say stop flicking water and she runs full tilt away, splashing water everywhere!
  Oh I love her!

Get a cat water fountain. My cat loves it and drinks a lot more water.
- Our old cat trained the kids to turn on the faucet in their bathroom sink while they were getting ready for bed. When they went to college I told them the cat was missing them and meowing in their bathroom at night. That was the first I learned of it.
- I set one of these up for our cats and they never used it. I'd always find them drinking out of the dogs water bowl.
  
  Lol thought our cat was the only one xD
- Which fountain did u get?

  I have this one and like it!
  
  This one will change your cat's life. Always fresh, never needs cleaning. I have it permanently plumbed to a sink in the bathroom.

  I use this one.
- I have one of these and it also has a filter to keep the water clean. I am always topping it off every morning to ensure he has enough in case I spend the night somewhere or don’t come back until late.

If you're in the northern hemisphere or equator 😉 I can tell you there is nothing but cold and rain where I am in the Antipodes.

I think mine's a vampire.

And it helps them drink it if it's in a wide, shallow dish.
- My cat will only drink from human glasses. She shoved her whole head in it. I keep waiting for her to get stuck. Idk... she loves it. Fucking weirdo!
