    Cat won't drink

    Cat rose hasn't drunk any milk or water for over a month. Should I go to the Vet?

    one day at a time

    Narp...catrose is probably supping from the well of the toilet! This is what mine do.

    If its still alive after a month, it is getting its water from somewhere.

      Tie it in a hessian sack and throw in in a large body of water, if it drinks water then its fine

        Vet, yes, best to be on the safe side

        Also you shouldn't be giving it milk as cats lose tolerance to lactose once they have matured.

        You might also try putting their water away from their food as cats do not like having water next to the food bowl.

          As long as it's lactose free milk (The stuff all pet stores have) it's fine

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Thanks.

            Yes, I've read cats think water near food is contaminated.

            And in the wild, drinking is hazardous.

            Will try spreading a number of bowls around the place.

            TIL that domestic cats instinctively don't want to drink from the water bowl next to their food, and therefore seek it out first elsewhere in the house, because in the wild any water next to their kill might be contaminated. : todayilearned
