Here's why:
* No psychoactive substances: Pool water doesn't contain any substances that could cause addiction.
* Chlorine: While chlorine is a chemical, it's not a substance that cats can become addicted to.
* Natural instinct: Cats generally avoid water, especially chlorinated water. They might play around it, but they won't crave it like they would their food or toys.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
* Chlorine can irritate: Chlorine can irritate a cat's skin and eyes.
* Ingesting water: If your cat drinks pool water, it can cause stomach upset.
* Health concerns: If your cat is constantly trying to get into the pool, it's important to find out why. They may have a medical condition or be trying to escape something.
It's best to keep your cat away from the pool area and make sure they have plenty of fresh, clean water to drink.
