Bottled water just for cats......

[charliebubs]

Has anyone seen this???

I, for one, think it's madness and a con.............but what do you think?? Would you buy special bottled water just for your cats??

Do you give your cats bottled water now, or regular tap water??

Tap water!!!

My cats do prefer to drink from puddles and such from the garden if its been raining too

Tap water! But my friend Carolyn always buys bottled for Kate.......

Mine have tap water but after its been filtered,thats down to Ed,he says if water that hasnt been filtered isnt good enough for us then its not good enough for our babies

[Jane]

Seems pretty crazy to me!

Patch and Meow both have tap water, the day it kills us they can start having bottled water but until then I see no problem with tap water Meow hardly ever drinks the water we put down for her anyway and Patch doesn't that much either, they say rain water is tastier

Our drinking water in the house goes through a filter, because we live on chalk and have to have a water softener (lots of salt!). Then the cats have it in their fountain.
I wouldn't buy 'cats' water' but I might use human bottled if I thought they weren't drinking enough because they refused tap water.

Oh please.......NO! Whatever next? And the price...?

It's true that chlorine in tap water can put cats off but realistically would anyone really buy bottled water? Most of the water that I put out gets thrown out when the bowl gets cleaned and refilled. Just imagine gritting your teeth as you refresh kitty's bowl, telling yourself " I paid good money for that water!"

My cats drink tapwater ( topped up sometimes with refreshing rainwater that they find in pots in the garden) and they haven't complained yet!

Hmm, it may well be a con but I used to buy bottled water for Winston as well as the cat it fountain. Cannt say I noticed a tremendous change in his health given that he had CRF and was already on other supplements but I felt that I should try to help reduce further damage to his kidneys by doing this.
I am a big sucker for all these things though and probably would go out and buy it to see if it did actually make any difference to them and their health.

If I had a poorly cat I would def try it - I'm a sucker too - but I wouldn't buy it just for day to day use.
