So heres an interesting bit. I was texting mom yesterday, asking what kind of litter she wanted me to pick up (scented litter is yucky! Waste of my money!), and she asked me if the cat was drinking more yet. I told her that cats don’t really drink, and of course being the know-it-all she likes to be she came back with “oh yes they do! lol”. Being the actual know-it-all I am (ok, not really, but at least in the pet department lol), I told her that cats only *learn* to drink, because they have to. I mean, for all we know, this cat has lived outside his entire life. He doesn’t know how to drink from a dish, nor does he seem to care to learn. Anyways, I turned the iPad on so I could get some wifi for my lap top, and when I unlocked it, up popped a Google search: “How much water do cats drink?” Clearly she cares, on some level, for this cat, so his chances of staying past his 30 day deadline are very high 🙂
Anyways, I’ve been feeding him 3-4 times a day (the Science Diet just doesn’t fill him up, poor guy), and I’ve been adding water to every meal (usually about matching the 3 oz can). I only managed to squirt his meds down his throat once, and after that, he was on to my game, so I’ve just been putting it in his food. He’s been peeing much more, and in much larger amounts, which I assume it good. I don’t know much cats are supposed to pee, but its about as much as Bentley does, maybe more, I would say.
Random question, how often do you guys change out your litter boxes? I scoop one or two times a day. The way my sister does it, she doesn’t scoop, and cleans hers out weekly, (gross and expensive!). That doesn’t sound like the best way to do it…
