A cat's water requirements are influenced by various factors, including body size, lactation, ambient temperature, type and amount of food, health status, stress and individual characteristics.
It is generally recommended that a cat should receive around 50 ml of water per kilogramme of body weight per day. This means around 200-250 ml of water for a 4-5 kg cat.
Most of the water is not absorbed through drinking, but through food. Moist food contains over 75% water and can even cover the entire fluid requirement, depending on the amount of food.
Healthy cats that do not have an increased water requirement should be able to choose for themselves how much they want to drink. Optimal support can be provided by placing many different water bowls in a separate location from the food bowl.
Finest menus in highest quality based on nature’s recipe
With their 90 % fresh muscle meat and valuable offal, the grain-free Terra Felis menus offer a very high proportion of meat. This supplies the cat, as a pure carnivore, the important omega-6 fatty acids and the large quantity of animal protein it needs for energy production and all metabolic processes. To ensure healthy intestinal function and intestinal peristalsis, the cat needs a small amount of fibre. All Terra Felis menus are therefore supplemented with a selected vegetable and catnip. The meals are rounded off with the addition of taurine and rapeseed oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Only ingredients in 100 % human-grade quality are used. This quality and freshness is reflected in the exceptionally appetising and exquisite smell of the menus and leads to good acceptance among cats.
