Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005Yellow Water
I looked at my cat's water bowl this morning and the water was yellow. What would cause that? I bought a large bowl in the big dog section of the store. Water is cheap and she likes to get her paws wet. I thought that if the water dish that looked like a toilet, she would be more likely to drink out of it. Is she now toilet trained? I'm thinking about throwing a gold fish in the bowl. Does anyone else do that? > I looked at my cat's water bowl this morning and the water was yellow. What > would cause that?

Does anyone else do that? I may have solved the mystery. One of her cat toys, a brown mouse, was near the water dish and soaking wet. She must have thrown it in and fished it out later. When I squeezed it, the water that came out was brownish. Another theory I had is that she was burying poop in her litter box when she suddenly realized that her paws were unbelievably foul. She was thinking "I normally clean myself with my tongue, but not this time. No frigging way." So she went over to her cat bowl and splashed around. Maybe I should put a small hand towel near the bowl to see if she'll use that. | > I looked at my cat's water bowl this morning and the water was yellow. | What [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] | So she went over to her cat bowl and splashed around.

Most likely the mouse fell into the water by accident and then she fished it out, great game!

I keep hinting to mine 5 I could use some helpin washing dishes, but so worry, I am not succeding, I really don;t know why! :) As for the dish colors, I bought a new glass dish for a room for them to have another water dish, and put some blue decorative glass stones inside as well as blue stone egg someone gave me as a (useless) present :) :) couple of hours later, water was all blue it was that blasted egg! :) It was apparently painted (Daah, didnt consider stones dont come in blue naturally he he) :) >I looked at my cat's water bowl this morning and the water was yellow.

Does anyone else do that? The first thing is to try and figure out....if you can....what the yellow is from. I had a similar situation a while back, I gave my cats fresh water and came home to find the water was green. What I finally figured out was one of the cats got ahold of one of my Vitamin B pills and that was what was in the water bowl. BTW, my relatives think i'm crazy but I give my cats bottled water. If I won't drink tap water why should I expect my cats to drink it? > BTW, my relatives think i'm crazy but I give my cats bottled water. > If I won't drink tap water why should I expect my cats to drink it? I think you are crazy too, unless you live in an area where tap water is really dodgy. My boyfriend would have a fit if I drank bottled water, and would lose the will to live if I gave it to the cat cubs! <raises a glass of eau de Thames> Amanda >I think you are crazy too, unless you live in an area where tap water is >really dodgy.

I should point out the tap water around tastes really bad and there is much concern about how "safe" the water is. Also it should be pointed out our water rates are the highest in the nation, alot of the water rates charged go towards cleaning the harbor. > Also it should be pointed out our water rates are > the highest in the nation, alot of the water > rates charged go towards cleaning the harbor. London water doesn't taste great, so we have a filter that you fill up from the tap, which costs ?2 a month for the filter cartridge. It's perfectly safe, though.

Amanda I buy bottled for my babies to so you are not crazy I change my cat's water twice a day, so I use the filtered water from my Pur Filter. I drink tap water or filtered water myself, it just tastes better longer from the filter. |
