If a cat does not drink water or eats, it can live for up to 3-5 days, but the cat eats but does not drink water. The time for persistence in this situation should be judged based on the water content of the food it eats. If you eat cat food, the cat may persist for up to one month. Eat food with high water content such as fruits and vegetables. The cat can persist for a long time.
However, if a cat just eats but does not drink water, the time to persist in this situation must be judged based on the water content of the food it eats. If a cat just eats dry cat food, it may last for up to one month because the cat food has a low moisture content. However, if a cat eats foods with high moisture content, such as fruits, vegetables, etc., it may be able to last for a long time.
The owner needs to prepare sufficient drinking water for the cat whether it is normal or when leaving home. If a cat does not intake any water for a long time, it will cause dehydration, resulting in excessive blood concentration and poor circulation. Due to hypoxia, organs will be necrotic and damaged on a large scale, resulting in cat death. Cats drink less water and are also prone to urinary diseases such as urinary stones and cystitis.
What if the cat doesn't drink water? First, the owner can soak the diet in water and then feed it, which can increase the water intake. Secondly, the owner can feed the cat food with high moisture content such as wet food, such as canned food, meat buns and other foods. In addition, you can also feed cats some vegetables, such as pumpkins. Of course, owners can also mix probiotics or milk powder that cats like to eat into water to help cats drink more water. Finally, if conditions permit, the owner can buy an automatic water dispenser for the cat to make the water flow, which will make the cat like drinking water more.
