Do cats need a special water bowl?

No, cats do not need a special bowl for water. However, most owners choose to use multiple bowls to separate dry food, wet food, and water. Additionally, owners looking to encourage regular hydration habits often choose a shallow cat bowl for those sensitive to whisker contact or a water drinking fountains for cats.
