Considering they are so obsessed with cleanliness, cats have some disgusting habits. One of the most unhygienic ways of staying hydrated is the feline habit of drinking water from the toilet bowl. This water tastes fresher than the water in your pet’s bowl. The water in your toilet is refreshed and reoxygenated every time you flush. In addition, your cat will watch the water swirling around and think it looks fun. Unfortunately, the chemicals used […]
