TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A veterinarian Angela Maharani says one of the characteristics of cat is it drinks less water. "Cat drinks less water and that’s normal," she said Friday, Nov. 24.
Angela says 80 percent of her patients are cats. Most of the cat owners tell her that their cats often do not drink the water they gave. The water is usually poured into a water container.
According to Angela, the cat owners should not be worried about it. She says that cats prefer to drink fresh water, for example, the tap water. She suggests cat is given wet food to reduce the potential for being dehydrated. "Wet food contains water."
The second character of cat is it is a curious creature. Angela gives an example of cat's habit that likes to sniff new things. "That is the sign that it is very curious [about the new thing]," she said.
Third, cats are independent. They can hunt for food themselves. Cats also like to lick their body as a way to clean themselves, so they don’t have to have a shower.
Fourth, cats are friendly. The fifth characteristic owned by cat is active; cats love to play around, especially kittens. And lastly, this furry friend is an individual creature.
