Thanks, I don't really want to worm the cats with Wazine but, they sleep in the coops at night. So I know they will be drinking the water.

I just don't want it to hurt the kitties.

I just don't want it to hurt the kitties. 

Cats usually get much less mg/kg of most medicine and birds get a much higher mg/kg dose, so I'm not sure how safe it would be for them to drink the water.
