I took Ben in a week ago to the Vet as he suddenly came inside on his own. HE NEVER wants in. He seemed hot but Vet f ound no temp and his bloodwork was normal. since Panther had blocked 2 weeks before that the vet told me to give them fresh water twice a day. I did BUT I only rinsed and wiped with my hand in cold water.
I asked on a vet to vet message board and the vets and techs thought I was doing fine BUT the cat owners had different opinions.
SOME said to wash with soap and HOT water and rinse with boiling water (I won't BOIL water these days as it is just too hot - even early). Then another said soap is difficult to rinse off so just use boiling water.
I went out and bought another set of water bowls (I ALWAYS clean food bowls off with hot water and soap and rinse well) and wash and rinse with hot tap water and air dry. I then fill up the first set with cold tap water. I do this twice a day.
How do you all do it?
