Cats may favor certain colors or shapes that to them resemble prey. They also tend to prefer water sources that seem more natural and \"hidden.\" One study found that cats drank 38% more from water bowls that were partially concealed compared to exposed bowls in plain sight. Another study found that when given a choice between different colored water bowls, most cats displayed a color preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides, \u003cb\u003ePetlibro Studies\u003c\/b\u003e show that features like fountains that move and filter water, integration with smartphone apps, LED lights, and \"prey-like\" shapes and colors can all encourage cats to drink up to 3 times more water.

By understanding and catering to your cat's natural preferences for color, shape, concealment, sound, size, freshness, and location, you can create a more enticing environment for your cat to stay hydrated. Keep reading to learn how incorporating these factors can help improve your feline friend's water intake and overall wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Cats have color vision and may naturally prefer certain colors over others. \u003cb\u003eColors like blue and green in particular may be appealing to some cats as they resemble natural water sources\u003c\/b\u003e. Offer your cat choices of different colored fountains and see which they seem to prefer. That color may motivate them to drink more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShape\u003c\/b\u003e: Fountains and bowls that have a curved, rounded shape with no sharp edges may be more natural and appealing to cats. Their shape should also make it easy for cats to see the water surface and access the water source. Some cats also prefer wide, shallow bowls that don't reveal their reflection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConcealment\u003c\/b\u003e: As cats feel most vulnerable while drinking, a fountain with areas that provide some concealment or a sense of coverage may feel more natural and help a cat feel at ease. Things like fountains placed in a corner, with a hood, or near the back of a stand can feel sheltered. Some cats also prefer fountains that can be placed at multiple heights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSound\u003c\/b\u003e: The gentle, trickling sound of running water stimulates many cats' senses and makes drinking feel more natural and appealing. Fountains that provide an adjustable flow rate allow you to match the speed and sound of the water to whatever most attracts your cat. Some cats also enjoy fountains with bubbling streams and water features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize\u003c\/b\u003e: In nature, cats prefer small standing pools of fresh, running water rather than large stagnant ponds. Offer your cat a fountain size appropriate for the number of cats in your home, but avoid very large fountains that may seem unnatural and make the cat feel on display or insecure while drinking. Multiple smaller fountains spaced throughout the home may be ideal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFreshness\u003c\/b\u003e: To seem most natural and potable, a fountain should provide your cat with clean, filtered, running water. Replace and refill the fountain with fresh, appealing water daily and clean the fountain weekly or as needed to prevent buildup. Cats prefer water that looks, smells and tastes clean and natural.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLocation\u003c\/b\u003e: Placing multiple water stations in high-traffic spots through your home, especially near areas where your cat eats, sleeps or plays, makes it more convenient and natural for your cat to stop for a drink. Your cat will have more opportunities to see and hear the trickling, filtered water and become interested enough for a drink. With more water access, your cat will likely develop better lifelong hydration habits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"cat drink\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/5197\/1119\/files\/img_v2_2b7d4094-895f-48f6-b57c-39ec7a3f2c3g_4cdb301e-030d-4f0a-a10a-30c8fbd7622a_600x600.png?v=1684381901\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to getting your cat to drink more - what works for one may not work for another.

Working together to chase the moving mouse helps form teamwork and strengthens the social bond through shared playtime experiences. Many cats become quite competitive, wanting to be the one to catch the toy for their owner. This leads to laughter, excitement and feelings of success that cement the cat-owner connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pixie Mouse Toy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/5197\/1119\/files\/pixie_moue1_480x480.png?v=1682587352\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"how-the-pixie-mouse-toy-works-for-bonding-between-cats-and-their-owners\"\u003eHow the Pixie Mouse toy works for bonding between cats and their owners?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pixie Mouse is an interactive pet toy designed to promote play and engagement between cats, dogs and their owners. It features a sleek mouse body, tail and wheels that move around on the floor at different speeds for chasing and pouncing. A rechargeable battery provides power for 40 mins of continuous play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral features of the Pixie Mouse make it ideal for bonding with cats. It stimulates a cat's predatory instinct through chasing motions, allowing them to act out catching and delivering the 'mouse' to their owner. Random speeds and movement types keep play interesting. Its small size also means that cats of a range of sizes, even kittens, can chase and pounce on the moving mouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"training-your-cat-to-play-with-the-pixie-mouse-toy\"\u003eTraining your cat to play with the Pixie Mouse toy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce the Pixie \u003cb\u003eMouse interactive pet toy\u003c\/b\u003e slowly and patiently to encourage positive associations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first, simply place the toy in an area where your cat frequents while turning it on and off. Give treats, praise and gentle play when your cat approaches the mouse or bats at it on their own. This helps make the toy seem fun and non-threatening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs your cat becomes comfortable with the toy, you can start gently moving it around to spark chasing and pouncing. Provide lots of praise, treats, and simplistic play acting for catching and kicking the mouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep early sessions short, \u003cb\u003emaybe 10-15 minutes\u003c\/b\u003e, and end on a high note.

Take cues from your cat on their comfort level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe patient through the introduction and training process.
