Cat not drinking? How to get your cat used to the drinking fountain
5 tips: How to get your cat used to a drinking fountain
1. the right location makes all the difference
Cats are picky - especially when it comes to their water bowl or drinking fountain. Make sure you don't put the water right next to the food or the litter tray, but choose a quiet, easily accessible place.
We recommend placing the drinking fountain near your cat's favourite place. This way, your cat won't be able to avoid the new drinking fountain and, driven by curiosity, can slowly approach the new appliance.
2. Slow approach with reward
You can get insecure cats used to the drinking fountain with positive stimuli. Place treats or their favourite toy near the fountain, as this helps to create a positive association. A drop of tuna water in the drinking fountain can also arouse curiosity and counteract initial scepticism.
3. Slow acclimatisation for skittish cats
Cats are sensitive creatures and some are quickly unsettled by unfamiliar noises. If your cat is rather timid, you should acclimatise it to the new appliance carefully. It is best to place the drinking fountain in a quiet place so that your cat can approach and familiarise itself very carefully.
4. Be patient and do not impose anything
Every cat is different and some take longer than others to get used to new things in their environment. Avoid forcing the drinking fountain on your cat at all costs. Instead, give her the freedom to familiarise herself with the new water dispenser at her own pace. This may take a few days longer.
