Cats can drink mineral water, but it's not recommended for long-term consumption. While the minerals in mineral water are beneficial to humans, they can be a burden on cats, especially increasing the risk of kidney stones with prolonged use.

For cats, cooled boiled water and purified water are healthier choices. If you choose to give your cat tap water, ensure the water quality is safe and avoid using raw tap water directly, as it may contain bacteria and parasites.
