While it's no secret that many cats dislike water, some cat owners even find that their furry companions are hesitant to drink water! Their aversion to the water dish can be attributed to their biology. Cats evolved from desert-dwelling creatures that obtained their water needs from their prey.

Furthermore, cats are highly sensitive to the shape, material, and temperature of the water presented to them. They generally prefer running water over still or stagnant water. They are even biologically inclined to avoid drinking near their food or litter area! Talk about being particular about their drinking habits!
