The poor cat in the market

If  you're like most people it's been a while since you cleaned your pet's  water bowl. Technically you wash it out whenever you refill it, so  what's the worst that could happen? In fact your cat's bowl is  probably dirtier than you realize, and leaving it that way can have a  big impact on your pet's health. Because of the special shapes of  a cat's mouth, they don't drink like humans do. Instead, they scoop up  water using their tongue. While this is pretty cool, it can leave the  bottom of their bowl covered in cat drool.

 f  you let your cat's slobber collect in their bowl eventually bacteria  and fungi will start to grow. Your cat can get some pretty nasty  diseases - including pasteurella, which can be fatal - if they keep  using the bowl.

Worst of all, your cats can also  spread these diseases to your family. In humans, pasteurella can cause  gross skin infections. It's better to be safe than sorry, so spend a  little extra time keeping your cat's water bowl clean.
