How long can a rabbit go without water?

Answer 1

I find this question a little worrying, as an indoor cat should be looked after and fed at least once a day. It is perfectly fine for a cat to go without food for a day, but this is not ideal.

Cats will usually only starve if they are trapped accidentally (if outside), sick or injured.

It is highly advisable to take the cat to the vet if the cat refuses to eat for more than several days, less than that if the cat is overweight. Ill, hurting, or very fussy cats can refuse to eat for days or even a week at a time, which is a grave danger as this can lead to Feline Hepatic Lipidosis (Fatty Liver Disease), in which the cat's body will start to send fat cells to the liver for fuel, which given enough time untreated, the liver will fail, which is ultimately fatal.

Answer 2

My female cat had surgery after giving birth, and it has been almost 5 days and she has yet to eat or drink water that I've noticed.

EDIT: Just make sure you provide fresh, clean water for her every day - she'll drink when she's ready.

Answer 3

Not long. Possibly a week or so, at best.

For a cat to survive without any moisture intake, it would not last very long, just the same as humans and most other animals. It is hard to determine how long a cat will last, although some cats have survived several weeks without food or water from being trapped in sheds or some other enclosed space. However, some cats will last a few days without water intake.

If the cat has access to wet food and/or prey from outside each day, it will live happily without an actual water source for some time. They have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by).

Yes my cat went without food water or shelter for longer than a week.

For a cat to survive without any moisture intake, it would not last very long, just the same as humans and most other animals. It is hard to determine how long a cat will last, although some cats have survived several weeks without food or water from being trapped in sheds or some other enclosed space. Cases like this, it's generally suspected that the cat has had access to dew or condensation that it can lap up to provide some water. Maybe even something to hunt and eat, even if it's only insects. Sometimes a Little can go a long way.

If the cat has access to wet food and/or prey from outside each day, it will live happily without an actual water source for some time. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by). It is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.

Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 70% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.

If the cat is fed on dry food, it will dehydrate much quicker as it not getting any moisture at all.

Answer 5

Cats usually will kill mice, squirrels, birds to stay alive unless they are lucky enough to have an owner that feeds them. Cats will usually only starve if they are confined or trapped accidentally and can't get out to hunt. When a cat is very old and their time is coming their organs begin to shut-down (just like humans) and they may not want to eat. This is the time when the owner of the cat must take them to the vet and have them put to sleep. If the cat is on their own and has to fend for themselves they will just slink off and die.

Answer 6

A couple days, but don't do that let it have plenty of food and water everyday.

Answer 7

Normally 2-3 days. But a pregnant cat will need the nutrients for her unborn or born kittens.

Answer 8

3 days but absolutly do NOT try
