My 14 yr old Mandie has gotten really picky with water. By the end of the day despite the water being clean she wants fresh. I give my cats bottled distilled. She loves it.
Does anyone else have this?

Is it still water? Do you have a water fountain? If not, I highly recommend one! The pump and filter keep it fresh and circulating, and relatively cool. Our cats have two still water dishes (one plastic, one stainless steel) and a water fountain. I never see them drink from any of them, but the dishes get cleaned and refilled everyday, and the fountain cleaned every week and topped up as needed anyway just so they have options.

Our cats either get tap water that has been boiled and allowed to cool, or Brita filtered water.

I was giving them filtered but she didn't like it much. I sometimes put ice cubes in for her to play with. They have stainless steel dishes for food and water. I don't have room for a fountain.
