Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Udon. Good job adding water to his wet food, as this will give him extra water. The wet food is also providing a source of water. Cats aren't big water drinkers, but I have found success with a cat water fountain. My cats love it and it encourages them to drink from it. I would get him a cat water fountain, you can find them online and at a pet store. I hope this helps!

I would have at least 1 water bowl on each level of the house. Its very important for cats to have access to water as they can be a little on the dehydrated side even when they are not sick. Put the bowls in quiet, out of the way locations.

Hi and thank you for using Boop by Petco! Sorry your Tabby is having issues with his water dish! A lot of cats do prefer running water to drink from and not standing water. You may try purchasing a pet fountain from your local supply store (a small one will work) and give that a try. He may like the running water more. If you are giving him the same food every day, don't stop! Changing up the food frequently will turn him into a very picky eater. Stick with one food and continue to offer it- cats will not stave themselves if they are hungry enough. He will learn to eat what is in front of him. However, if you notice your tabby has gone more than 3 days without eating, I would be suspicious there is something else more concerning going on with him that may need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. I hope this has helped and I wish you and your Tabby the very best!

You have nothing to worry about, my cats are exactly the same, they will prefer every other option that seems to be fresher than their bowls, i tried a fountain bowl for a while but it never really replaced their need to drink from wherever they could.

Water treated with water softener is usually safe for cats and dogs to drink. However, softened water isn't recommended for pets that have a restricted or sodium-free diet. If you are not sure whether you want to use your softened water, you can use bottled water for your cat to drink.
