Keep Your Cat's Water Dish Clean

"Hi I’m Dr. Adrienne Mulligan on behalf of Expert Village.com and we are going to talk about water today for your cat and water is very important in keeping it clean and fresh; it is really important.

If you keep your food near your water bowl, then you are going to end up with food in the water bowl which makes it even harder to keep clean and they are going to decide they don’t like to drink the water because it’s got kind of this food and gunkiness in it and cats are pretty picky about their water in the first place.
