Why is my cat drinking so much water?
A
Cats are very skilled at hiding illness. Any change in habit may signal a health problem. Increased water intake, though seemingly a minor behavioral change, may indicate a more serious issue.
Often, a steady increase in water consumption can point to such illnesses as kidney failure, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism. Other health issues are also possible. A thorough exam, bloodwork, and urinalysis will usually determine the cause of the increased water intake and lead to a proper diagnosis and treatment.
