Dog owners: do any of you feed raw?

[Biciclista]

If cats don't have a thirst reflex, why do they drink at all?

Seems illogical to me.

Karen, happy with her dry food fed cats and dogs with bright, shiny coats, beautiful musculature, and healthy fitness

they don't have a strong thirst reflex. They do have a thirst reflex.
Domestic cats have several problems that are caused/exacerbated by not drinking enough, including urinary disorders and kidney failure.

Oh, I guess I didn't remember the adjective by the time I got around to posting a response.

I know about cats having kidney problems. My cats seem to want to drink every day, so I don't worry about them.
