How do I make my cat drink?

My cat had a blocked bladder and came home from the vet yesterday. The vet told us to make sure he drinks a lot of water. But since he got home, he hasn’t wanted to drink water at all. How can I make him drink?

Answer #1

Are you sure he isn’t drinking more than you think he is? How about the toilet? Cats drink in all kinds of places. Mine likes to jump up on my sink in the bathroom and have be turn the water on for him and he drinks water like that.

If your litter box is wet and I bet it is. He is drinking, if not call your Vet in the morning and check in.

Get well soon, Kitty.

Answer #2

Plastic eye dropper, like they use to give babies vitamins…you can get them at any Pharmacy or supermarket. Give him little bits, many many times a day…If he still won’t take any water in, he might have to go back to the vets so they can hydrate him.

you may want to try a syringe and just force him to drink water. I know it might seem mean but it’ll keep him from ending up in the vet again. hope he gets better. =]
