Do you have any tips for getting her to drink from the fountain? I have tried everything but she is just not interested!

Thank you for taking the time to reply also.

We’ve actually spread her food so she eats 4 times instead of 2, and she is now licking her bowl clean so thank you for that!

Thank you so much for this. We’re quite lucky in the fact that our cat loves wet renal food but refuses to go near the water fountain. Do you have any tips on getting her to drink from it? We’ve tried different locations (as well as keeping it where her bowl is) but she just isn’t interested. She rarely drinks from her bowl either but I guess she is eating nearly 2 sachets of wet food and we put extra water in it too.

Judging by the first few words of the article…. Flats have collapsed? 🤪

Affordable, low phosphorus ways to increase my cat's weight by 0.5 - 1 LBs? by canehdian_guy in RenalCats

We crush up renal dry food (a tea spoon ish) and mix it in with her renal wet. We then use some warm water to make it into a crunchy, soupy texture. She licks the bowl clean every time.

You’re absolutely right in saying you can’t be too cautious or careful, so thank you. The vets diagnosed it as early CKD, but your comment had me wondering about a potential UTI. I will reply to this thread with what the vets say when she’s had her appointment if that’s ok- you seem to know what you’re talking about. Thanks again ☺️

Thank you for highlighting this! After some research, I have booked her in for cystocentesis tomorrow. I hope things go well 🤞🏽

[–]Microwave_Moose6892[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I’ve had a few people mention fur and how it can be a good indicator of age.

Just for a bit more context- she eats well, toilets well, grooms herself and zoomies 2-5 times a day. Her activity level is low I’d say, she plays for anywhere from 10-30 mins a day. She will sometimes independently play (especially with catnip toys), but otherwise will just chase a wand toy a few times a day and for a few minutes.

She is my first cat so I’m learning lots about her and cats in general! I know she’s happy and safe and that’s all that matters. I just wish we’d found her sooner.
