Did You Know ?
Cats can drink sea water.
This is a biological function inherited from their desert dwelling ancestors who adapted to survive extreme water scarcity. Their livers are quite unique and are able to excrete high levels of sodium and concentrate urine effectively.
This special mechanism reduces the risk of dehydration and, as cats primarily meet their fluid needs through their food, allowed them to continue to thrive in the most arduous conditions.
It's also interesting to note that salt is an effective protection against such things as urinary tract diseases.
Cats are amazing creatures !
