but also remember that cats prefer to get their hydration from food, so even if it's a bit stinky do give them wet food rather than the sad mostly-grain dry food.

Even if not hot one should still give pets fresh water.
I just have aquariums.
Like I also have a water fountain in the kitchen just for them made of old aquarium filter parts, but they never touch it. They drink from my bedroom or living room aquariums.
Maybe they like that the water is plant filtered, maybe they just like to be dicks, whatever the reason they only drink from aquariums
Same if you leave water for the outdoor animals.
Get a cat water fountain. My cat loves it and drinks a lot more water.
Which fountain did u get?
This one will change your cat's life. Always fresh, never needs cleaning. I have it permanently plumbed to a sink in the bathroom.
Would like to avoid plastic ones to be honest, from what I've read they are way more prone to bacteria and biofilm. Will stick to either stainless-steel or ceramic myself. Thanks for the suggestion though!
No problem. Just let you know, there is a transitional period. It took my cat about a couple weeks before she started using it. Now, that she knows that it gives water. She drinks a lot more water.

I have this one and like it!
I have one of these and it also has a filter to keep the water clean. I am always topping it off every morning to ensure he has enough in case I spend the night somewhere or don’t come back until late.
Our old cat trained the kids to turn on the faucet in their bathroom sink while they were getting ready for bed. When they went to college I told them the cat was missing them and meowing in their bathroom at night. That was the first I learned of it.
I set one of these up for our cats and they never used it. I'd always find them drinking out of the dogs water bowl.
yes, try to be a good cat owner like me, buy multiple water fountains and spread them around the house so the little rascals have different ones to flip over and make fun puddles everywhere while exclusively drinking shower water... true story
If you're in the northern hemisphere or equator 😉 I can tell you there is nothing but cold and rain where I am in the Antipodes.
And it helps them drink it if it's in a wide, shallow dish.
