I I THINK I KNOW WHY THEY'RE DOING THAT. Okay so first you need to know that cats can't see things that are close to their faces, because of how their hardware is made. So they use their whiskers to "see" things close to them. The thick water probably makes it feel like that is not water (because water doesn't push against their whiskers like that) and they're basically failing their water depth calibration test and then concluding that there's no water there. Siamese cats though have genetic quirks related to their breed and they all are at least a LITTLE cross-eyed, so they all pretty much learn depth perception in a different way so they might ironically be better at figuring out how close the thick water is to their face because they're already used to being bad at distance and compensating. (Plus I'm pretty sure that siamese cats are neurodivergent on top of their mild-to-severe cross-eyed-ness, honestly their breed has these really weird brain things going on compared to more... usual cats.) This is just a hypothesis but if anyone has a non-siamese cross-eyed kitty those SHOULD also figure out the thick water quickly and not go "...this isn't water wtf".

You can add thickener to normal water and it becomes thick water. I recently learned this while taking care of two patients with dysphagia. Edit: I realize people are confused with the usage of thick water for swallowing problems. Dysphagia is when liquids have the tendency to flow through the wrong pipe, which can lead to problems such as choking and aspiration. This is caused by impaired ability to swallow properly, which necessitates the ingested liquid to be thick so the patient can have better control on the liquid, thus lessening risks for complications. The thickener causes the water to become more viscous without altering other properties, which makes it ideal for many types of liquids, like water and juices. These liquids are usually taken with other medicines, like Gavilax, which is powder. Edit: I love a healthy reply section.

@@ZeldasSword Not sure where you get your evidence? John Hopkins medical research, as well as research backed by hospitals in the US at least, state thickened liquids are necessary for those at risk of aspiration. My grandmother had to last summer. She was just fine. They gave her a thickened diet for well over two months, and she recovered greatly during that time. She went to the bathroom regularly as well (I would know, as I had to help her to the bathroom and up often as she could not walk). Additionally, the problem with water in your lungs is that you could LITERALLY DIE of asphyxiation? It's not that "you'll unlikely get sick unless you have poor oral hygiene." Beyond death, you risk being readmitted to the hospital for pneumonia--which is the result of the accumulation of fluid in your lungs. ABSOLUTELY incorrect information; PLEASE reinform yourself.

The sheer confusion is so hilarious!!!!

I'm a speech-language pathologist and we're actually the ones who recommend what consistency patients should drink! SLPs often assess a patient's swallowing after the patient has had a stroke or a surgery. Depending on what signs of dysphagia we see (like coughing or choking after taking a sip, or actually seeing liquid go down the wrong way using x-ray or a camera) we recommend thin (regular) liquids, nectar-thick (slightly thick), honey-thick (moderately), or not allowed to drink anything. Thicker liquids move more slowly and provide more sensation in the mouth and throat, so they're generally easier to control and safer to swallow. Unfortunately studies have shown that patients who have to drink thicker liquids are more likely to be dehydrated, because the stuff is unappetizing. Gel thickener is better than powdered thickener because the powder often clumps up.

The tortie one had me laughing out loud. She was literally facing the wall looking for help 😂

0:01 it looks like their chewing the water

3:34 not the kitty backing that thang up when he realizes it's not his usual water😂😂😂

3:48 don't even care lol

Love the video and this is a total side comment but as a speech pathologist (healthcare provider who works with people who have dysphagia) I want to raise awareness that thick liquids can still cause people with dysphagia to choke/aspirate silently (without coughing) and it is actually more dangerous to aspirate than regular liquids. Thick liquids should never be prescribed without first getting imaging (e.g., under x-ray) of someone's swallow function and seeing whether thick liquid actually helps them swallow better. And even then, it should be a discussion between the patient and speech pathologist about whether they want to go on thick liquid or continue drinking thin liquid understanding the risks and how they can mitigate those risks. There are also multiple levels of thickness that should be specified to the person's dysphagia. Anyway this is SUCH a complex topic so I just don't want anyone with swallowing issues to think this is an automatic fix without consulting a speech pathologist first.

Honestly thank you. I'm an adult with a lot of symptoms of developmental coordination disorder or dyspraxia (trying to get diagnosed as an adult is proving challenging and my parents and my parents didn't believe their gifted children could have developmental disorders... Anyway) and I've always had trouble with choking easily so I've been considering this product but I may hold off now since reading this warning cause I've almost died enough times from choking and asthma attacks. I just don't need anything worse lol

I couldn't drink that. It would remind me of saliva. 🤢

Shut up I couldn’t figure out why I was so grossed out by it and that’s why 🤮😆

All of the cats are just like "Mother, are you trying to kill me?.."

Love the sound effects! I have 3 fur babies and you give me hope that I can convince my hubby to allow me to bring home more! Thank you! 😊

I wish I was just as care-free as that siamese.

Anyone else suddenly have trouble swallowing even their own saliva while watching? The thought of drinking this just makes me gag slightly... but hey, I'm glad it exists! My elderly cousin is in the hospital right now and has dysphagia, so thickened water helps him stay hydrated.

Lol probably many. Things like this would happen to me all the time before but I have somatic symptom disorder. So in a nutshell it's very much possible to experience somatic symptoms/signs one reads about (letalone watches videos of lol) for some people

I love cats & you're great at editing!!❤️

THIS WAS SO ENTERTAINING LMAOO

They should find a way to make this water not taste bad, imagine if you could only drink two glasses of it per day but it would count as six glasses and you'd feel perfectly hydrated.

That's not how water works though. You're thirsty because you need more water molecules, not because the water was too thin. This is just unflavored jello.

@@GamesFromSpace I thought that's not the case because it's for people who can't swallow much which is why they put more water into a smaller package. Because surely normal water glides down the throat easier than thick but it's about the number of times one has to swallow.

@@potatochalbro it's not more water, it's less water plus some thickening agent. It is literally just unflavored jello. You can't make water thicker or denser, they're just adding goo to it.

@@potatochalbro they'd have to chemically pack water molecules tighter together, but there is none really because as a solid water will expand in formation. Thick water is more like a powder is added to thicken it. Like putting cornstarch or flour in soup. It's not denser due to mire water molecules, but it would be cool if it could.

it doesn't taste like anything it is just the texture that is weird.

Cat 4:00 muah

Loving the tortie haha

_my grandfather had to drink this. He was very old and couldn’t drink regular water._

Just like humans, they'll drink it if they're genuinely thirsty. But they'd rather not.

0:09 almost sounds like "stick water"

Adding a piece of fresh okra soaked overnight in water makes it thick but keeps the flavor neutral and pleasing

Hello! This is such an amazingly creative video not only for the funny "cat comments", very well timed and creative music, making fun of your ability to try and pronounce "dysphasia". This video was so well made I am using it in place of a tictok video for a mass media assignment in a college course. Thank you for being an advocate for stray animals. You are an inspiration!!

THE ''WHY IS IT SPICY-'' CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD *SO GOOD* IT HURTS TO BREATHE

Ino is the only cat who gets the concept of thicc water. smart cat.

This is soooo cute! I also take care of stray cats! Right now I have 7 cats 🥰 I had to subscribe!

Ayo you have more cats than brain cells I have left

I worked at an old folk's home once and they had thick EVERYTHING. Thick water, thick juice, thick coffee...

My dad had to drink this when he had a stroke and yes it’s weird 😅. I tried some of his forbidden beverages and they were truly weird!! It’s like really soft jello

At least Ino actually liked the “Thick water” I’m very impressed with you Ino!

Usually older people have it, its pretty common in care homes

My first thought is that cats, with a healthy diet, get most of there water from their food. Yea they drink some water but over all not much. Further cats seem to not like standing water, they look for moving water to drink. You probably would have got a similar outcome as with regular old water.

I've never known a cat to drink water on demand anyway. They usually like privacy.

Hill's actually makes a thickened, flavoured water supplement to help promote hydration in cats. Cats are notorious for not drinking enough water.

This kitty is so cute :)
