I had canned salmon for lunch, of course Noah was in the kitchen like a shot.  :rofl: He happily laps up the liquid, no added salt and contains omega-3 so I am happy to oblige.  :evillaugh: If you don't make your own you can buy fresh stock from the supermarket (meaty and fishy) which is not high in salt like the cubes. Could be something to freeze into an ice cube size portions for reluctant drinkers?

Thats brilliant!!! I will try that with Amber next time she has cystitis. Then again Amber does drink now but usually after filling her belly with food and is then sick  :sick:

 :wow: Noah drinks regularly when he has had a dried food meal but rarely over the summer when all food was wet or raw. The laser pointer tip will be really useful to those who worry about renal issues!

In the year & a bit that I have been Daisy Cats servant,I have never seen her drink!! Not once! I've tried all the usual suspects,leaving the tap running..(Orbits preferance!)siteing the bowl away from her food,useing cold once boiled water,fountains...nada!
So I'm butter if I know the answer!

Tricked in to drinking!!
« Reply #1 on: October 18, 2010, 22:01:23 PM »
I've been worried about how much Maizie is drinking for a while, she never seems to drink from her bowl and the water fountain is ignored. I running tap is popular, but I can't leave it running all the time and she only eats wet food on my insistence, she'd prefer to just have the dry.

Tonight however I've succeeded with the help of the laser pointer!!!

Usually I point it at her food dish to encourage her to finish the wet food but today (distracted by corrie!!) I pointed it at her water dish by mistake and she drank from her dish for about a minute at a time!! Clearly a laser pointer is the key for my reluctant drinker!! I hope she carries on falling for it!!  ;D
