        The freezer handle has fallen off. The plastic drawers are cracked or fallen off altogether. The ice maker will make ice even if it is full and will end up getting jammed. Otherwise, it cools and freezes.

    Cats want fresh, running water, which is why those fountain things are so effective for cats.

    That still doesn’t explain why my cat will drink some cloudy fucking street puddle water though.

      The biggest joke I’ve heard from r/cats: “we got 3 fountains and my cat keeps drinking puddle water outside like it’s the tastiest thing in the world”

      I’ve never been able to get my cats to pay any attention to those things. Have tried a few.

      Yes, my cats have loved fountains. You can make one for cheap. Large glass jar, aquarium filter pump, rubber band or something to hold the pump against the jar, and some decorative glass rocks in the bottom to keep it in place

        I feel like that’s not as cheap as just buying one by the time you’ve bought all that other stuff 🤔

          It’s like $30 and doesn’t use plastic. Plastic can give them skin irritations

    PSA: Apparently cats don’t like water next to their food because evolution. So put the water bowl away from the food.

      While this is true for most cats, my sweet weirdos like it right by their food so they can get some between bites. Test it out and see where they drink the most water

        My cat has 2 bowls of fresh water kept clean and changed every day.
        I caught him licking the moisture from a sink after I washed my hands in it…

        My strategy is to just add a measure of water to his wet food twice a day, which ends up being more water than he’d drink throughout the day on his own.
        I’m hoping it’ll help him avoid some issues as he grows old.

          It probably will. Their kidneys get all fucked up because some of them just refuse to drink water. Wet food is the way to trick them.

        I keep one by the food and a separate water dish in another room not far from their cat tree. When it’s hot out, typically a third one finds its way near their favorite patio door they like to look out and sun by.

    Hey at least he’s drinking water. It’s a pain in the ass to get cats to do that sometimes.

      We almost didn’t get our youngest off of formula. She was dumped in the highway at a very young age so we were having to feed her. She started eating whole solid food with out us softening it, but still wanted her formula. We had to dilute it over time until she was drinking just water

    Many fridges have a child lock on it.

    Works on cats too, I imagine.

        Just tell them it’s temporarily broken. Edit- that also works on kids.

        You mean feline rights. Those stipulate a bunch of additional stuff, like the right to own human servants, and “scent dibs” which grants the right to appropriate any piece of property by rubbing it with the chin, body, or tail.

        Good attitude. Many cats don’t drink enough water, so anything that helps is good for their kidney health.

    Meanwhile my dog has access to clean fresh water, yet insists on drinking from the dirtiest puddles outside
