cats not drinking

Question
My one cat starting laying around the house, the vet told us he was dehydrated and had an infection, We got the infection taken care off, But now my 2 other cats don't seem to be drinking a lot eather, they may go to the water bowl once or twice through out the day, They get canned wet food twice a day, as well as hard food throughout the day. I have been feeding rexy water off of my fingers but he still isn't dinking a lot. I have noticed that all three are not going to the bathroom much eather. The other two cats have been taked to the vet a couple months ago, and we were told that they were fine. Is there any other way I can try to get them to drink? They were all drinking and going to the bathroom rine, until the hotter weather came.

Answer
Hi Kay:  Can you put some ice cubes in the water bowel?  They may like the coldness of the ice???

Also, place a bowel of water in every room of the house.  It may help them to remember to drink.

You can increase the wet food and add a few teaspoons of water.  You can cut down on the dry food for a few weeks.

Hope this helps you.  

Also, a good supplement for cats is NuVET Plus / feline powder.
You can add this to the wet food 1 time per day.  Great Immune System Booster for your cats....Read about NuVET for Felines here:

Thanks for your question!  Good luck and I will pray for some cooler temperatures.
