Cats can drink cold water in winter. Cats have a strong ability to survive. Drinking cold water will not have any impact on cats. However, you cannot give raw water to cats. Raw water may contain a large number of parasites and bacteria. You need to boil the raw water before giving it to cats. If the cat has a bad gastrointestinal condition, you need to avoid letting it drink cold water in winter to avoid irritating the gastrointestinal tract and causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Instead, you can give it warm water and feed it warm food.
Solutions for cats not drinking water:
1. Place more water basins in areas where cats frequently move to increase their willingness to drink water.
2. Cats like to drink flowing water. You can prepare a pet water dispenser for the cat, and the cat will like to drink water.
3. Cats can be fed some canned food appropriately. Canned food contains a lot of water, which can help cats replenish a certain amount of water.
