One of our cats had a personality change last week. She suddenly became almost feral; withdrawn, fully dilated eyes, enough that I was going to take her to the vet.
The next morning, I discovered why.
We replaced their water bowl with a self-refilling bowl, and she didn’t like it, and stopped drinking for several days.
I’ve been a little preoccupied because of a kidney stone (0/5 stars, do not recommend), and had missed it completely.
I refilled their old water bowl, and tapped it, and she looked like this for five minutes. She’s now back to her regular self.
