Can cats drink tap water or boiled water, Zhihu?

There are bacteria in raw water. Drinking raw water is easy to infect diseases, so make sure to have fresh drinking water at any time.

Both boiled water and pure water will do. From the point of view of hygiene, boiled water is more ideal. Boiled water is the most consumed water in daily life. It is tasteless and extremely common, but it has a very important conditioning effect on the physiological mechanism of human body.

Whether drinking mineral water for a long time can easily lead to an increase in the incidence of urinary calculi has not been tested by veterinarians at present, but boiled water is economical and hygienic, so it can be used as the first choice.

If the water quality in your home is not good, you'd better let the tap water be heated and cooled. It is not recommended to drink directly for a long time, because tap water contains more bacteria, which may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea in cats.
