it isn't really good for humans either).

Can you please tell us why drinking ice water isn't good for cats or humans?
I had never heard this before. Thanks.

Sudden change in temperature. I mean I don't think it is horrible, but it
is one of those things like eating a lot of vegetables it is not as
healthy as drinking lukewarm water (which also absorbs faster in your
stomach than ice cold water). I would say if the cat enjoys it don't worry
about it.

Actually, my cats get a huge kick out of it when I drop an ice cube into
their water bowl. They love to push it around the bowl and watch it bob
around. I would never put shaved or cracked ice in, but nice big ice cubes
can make a great toy (as long as you don't mind wiping the splashed water
off the floor afterward) :-)
I always fill my cats' water bowls with refrigerated water - it's filtered
water out of my Brita pitcher. I have noticed that they never drink it
immediately - they let it come up to room temp first.
Every day I clean the large water bowl and refill it with water and 16
ice cubes.
