Cat Drinking Water

[smurfchops]

I have noticed that my seven year old cat is lately drinking a fair amount of water, even out of my glass, when she never used to drink any? She has dry food mixed with Felix pouches. Thanks all.

Maybe a vet visit to rule out diabetes. One of mine also drinks water from a glass but always has

`^^ Also to rule out kidney trouble.

Older cats tend to drink more

One of ours drinks water out of anything given the chance but this could be the start of diabetes or kidney problems, as previously mentioned. I am assuming your cat has access to a bowl of water all the time?

7 is not old for a cat, a quick visit to the vet just to put your mind at ease and rule out any nasties

She doesn’t seem to be doing it as much now ..l.

^probably aware that a visit to the vet could be on the cards...
