I cannot for the life of me get my cat to drink... I've tried keeping the bowl separate from her food, Ive tried the flowing water fountain things, I've tried different bowls... At one point I completely stopped giving her kibble and only give her wet food now because I was worried she wasn't getting any water at all.
Did you try directly from the tap? Some cats are boujee like that. I had an elder cat that would pretty much only drink from the tap or anything that was filled from the tap. He would often hop onto the bathroom sink and sit there, meowing until someone came to turn the tap on for him
I can't, I have well water that is not great to consume. I have to buy bottled water unfortunately.
