Things You'll Need
- Pet water fountain
Instructions
Use a water bowl with a pump and filter built into it. There are many styles to choose from, and you should base your selection on your cat's habits. For example, if your cat likes to drink from a running faucet, you should select a bowl that circulates the water with a cascading waterfall-style fountain. This will encourage your cat to drink the water before it evaporates.
Place the cat's water bowl away from direct sunlight, which speeds up evaporation. Choose a shady area or a room with few windows.
Place the water bowl in an area with a cooler temperature. Warmer temperatures increase the rate of evaporation.
Place the water bowl away from circulating air such as fans, air ducts or open windows. Moving air promotes evaporation from the water bowl; placing it in a calm location will reduce the amount of the cat's water lost to evaporation.
