In the winter time cats may drink water a little less. If this is the case for your cat then keep a close eye on her to monitor her overall water intake. Cats can get dehydrated in the winter just like they do in the summer. Even though the winter isn’t hot and dry it is cold and dry. The dry winter air can deplete your cat of her extra water and cause her to become lethargic. She may even pant with thirst (although panting is also a sign of pain as well). You can also pull at your cat’s skin. It should bounce back with elasticity pretty well. If it doesn’t then she could be dehydrated. Help your cat drinking more by keeping fresh water in her bowl. Check it often. If it’s super cold out, offer your cat some warm water. Some cats like this. For more tips, call your vet clinic Bend, OR. Or click this link: https://westsidepethospitalbend.com/
