Re: Reader: 'Pets Drinking' - Problem...?

Hi Hobie..

Try putting a little basil (heavy sprinkling) and tumeric (start very small, add up to one full sprinkle), a little yogurt (1/2 tsp), with good sprinkle of water in her food. Every meal.

Add a little water to all food. I recommend dry with added wet food with water. Don't overfeed the cat... How much food do you think a cat would get if they had to hunt for it? Cats should be skinnier than many are, but I digress.

She may be out of balance and this may help. Basil is like a super nutrient. I give this to my cat. Look them up, you will find they are not toxic. Some tumeric is stronger than others, so use accordingly. Tumeric can prevent cancer & slow tumor growth in people AND pets. Too much and the cat won't eat the food. Put the basil on top after the tumeric. They seem to like basil, it is some thing like catnip to them, but thankfully not intoxicating. ALWAYS find out about toxicity before administering any herb to your pet.

Take this advice at your own risk. I am not a vet. Good luck. (My cat has always loved water, and continues to drink plenty.)
