Recent studies indicating that bisphenol A (BPA), a compound found in plastics and epoxy products, has been linked to endocrine (glandular) disruption and the thyroid gland is a part of the endocrine system. Some plastic water bottles use BPA to help retain their shape and improve their durability.  The BPA molecule itself is chemically similar in structure to the thyroid hormone molecule. 1 It could stand to reason that choosing bottled water is not helpful and could even be harmful to your cat.

I don't use bottled water for myself or my cats. I try to buy only canned products that are not BPA lines too.
