minus-squareWarl0k3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up176arrow-down1·13 hours agoThis is true within limits On average, a 5-kg cat needs around 250 ml of water a day. 250 ml of seawater contains about 8.75 g of salt, and the fatal dose of salt for a 5-kg cat would be 20 g of salt. In other words, this ability works within certain limits, so please don’t go out of your way to give salt water to your cat.
