They can survive drinking salt water occasionally. Dogs cannot tolerate drinking saltwater. It is not good to keep on drinking saltwater because it can result in dehydration.

No salt and other spices is not good for cats hence they should not be given salty water in any case. Salt has toxic effects to cats leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, laziness among others

   While it's safe for your feline to every so often drink from saltwater pools, and keeping in mind that they can endure higher salt admission than canines, this doesn't imply that ought to polish off a lot of salt. High salt admission can prompt extreme thirst, pee, or even sodium particle harming

Yes, cats can drink salt water. The kidneys of cats are different from us humans, their kidney can filter out the salt from water which means for cats saltwater is similar to the normal water because their body can easily convert saltwater to regular water giving them the experience of normal water.

Cats can drink seawater the strength of their kidneys allow them to filter out enough salt in the water that they can rehydrate, and they have much stronger kidneys than human.

I think so because cats eat food humans eat which contains salt so they can drink salt water and still survive since they eat what contains salt why can't they drink what contains water.

Cats CAN drink saltwater

While you won't be refreshed by a glass of saltwater, your kitty actually can be. Feline kidneys can filter out the salt from water, which allows them to consume and rehydrate by drinking

Cats are not well adapted to drinking saltwater and cannot rely on it as a source of hydration. Unlike marine animals such as dolphins or certain seabirds, cats do not have specialized physiological mechanisms to filter and excrete excess salt from their bodies.

Drinking saltwater can be harmful to cats due to its high salt content. Ingesting large amounts of saltwater can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and potentially kidney damage. Saltwater consumption can also exacerbate thirst and cause further dehydration.
