Hydration is crucial for your cat’s health, yet many cats don’t drink enough water. The Cat Water Intake Calculator helps you determine how much water your cat should be drinking each day based on weight, age, activity level, and food type.
How It Works:
The calculator uses this formula:
- Water Intake (ml/day) = Weight (kg) × 50 to 70 ml
It takes into account:
- Weight: Heavier cats need more water.
- Age: Kittens need more hydration, seniors may need less.
- Activity Level: Active cats require more water.
- Food Type: Wet food increases hydration, dry food requires more water intake.
Estimated Water Intake (Based on Weight):
| Weight (kg) | Minimum Water Intake (ml) | Maximum Water Intake (ml) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 kg | 100 ml | 140 ml |
| 4 kg | 200 ml | 280 ml |
| 6 kg | 300 ml | 420 ml |
| 8 kg | 400 ml | 560 ml |
| 10 kg | 500 ml | 700 ml |
Tips for Encouraging Hydration:
- Offer fresh water regularly.
- Use a water fountain or try different bowls.
- Consider wet food to boost hydration.
With the Cat Water Intake Calculator, you can easily track your cat’s hydration needs and ensure they stay healthy and happy.
