How Much Water Should a Cat Drink?

Cats need varying amounts of water based on their weight and the type of food they eat (dry kibble or canned wet food).

It’s difficult for even the healthiest of cats to drink the right amount of water because of the unique shape of their tongues. A single lap of water only provides a cat with 3/100 of a teaspoon.*

Although many cats struggle to stay hydrated, some cats can drink too much water. If your cat drinks more water than usual, it may be a sign of feline hyperthyroidism or diabetes.
