My kitty used to drink lots of water until I forgot to refill her bowls one day. After that day, she now drinks a lot less. My bad. :doh3: I've been worried about her reduced water intake for a while now, but am just finally doing something about it. Bad mummy to her!
I've tried dropping treats in water, but she just fishes them out. So I looked into buying chicken broth for her to drink, but they all have onion powder, so I bought some chicken drumsticks to make broth for her. She lapped up the chicken broth the first night although she just licked the drumstick meat without eating it, but I think I screwed up by serving her the broth hot the next night instead of waiting for it to cool. :doh3: She took a couple licks, then ignored it.
The broth looked funny anyway after it was refrigerated (jelly-like)...I added some water when reheating the third day and she flat out ignored it.
Today, I'm using a nice whole chicken from Trader Joe's, a bunch of celery and some carrots to make a huge pot of chicken broth goodness...for my cat. O_O Not for me.
I'm going to try adding some Fortiflora on top of the cooked meat (cooled) to entice her to eat some...
