Jolene vs. the faucet: an ongoing saga 💧😅

Fun fact: cats aren’t actually great at drinking water, and it’s not just a Jolene thing. Their ancestors were desert hunters who got most of their hydration from their prey, so modern cats still have a pretty low thirst drive. Translation? They’re biologically wired to not be big water drinkers… even when they probably should be.

At Uniquely Cats, that’s exactly why we focus on moisture-forward nutrition. By incorporating hydration directly into their meals, we help support kidney health, digestion, and overall wellness—no faucet skills required.

Our beloved staff kitty—and proud blind boy—is showing us that vision isn’t required for enjoying a good enrichment treat! Even without sight, Binx confidently gnaws on his chicken neck, guided by his incredible sense of smell, touch, and memory.

Beyond being a tasty snack, appropriately sized raw treats like this can support dental health by helping mechanically reduce plaque buildup through chewing. They also provide important mental enrichment, encouraging natural feline behaviors like tearing, chewing, and engaging with food in a meaningful way.

Binx is a perfect reminder that cats adapt beautifully, and that enrichment is for every cat, regardless of ability. 💛🐱
