Cat Eating And Drinking More

[smurfchops]

Further to my previous question, my five year old spayed female cat has put on half a kilo recently and is now drinking from her water bowl, she has wet pouches and I have never seen her drink her water before. What could it be?

Cats drinking excessively can be a sign of kidney problems, though this is more usual in older cats. I would suggest getting her checked out by the vet.

But having said that I would first monitor the situation for a time to see if her drinking of water is consistent and ‘excessive’

Hi all, I haven’t noticed the water bowl going down today, I wondered if it the different cat biscuits I have just opened? They are called Perfect Fit. She has wet food and a few biscuits together. Could this be to blame? I didn’t keep the wrapper so I don’t know if there is maybe more salt in them ? Thanks all
