Expert Answer

A cat that won’t drink easily gets constipation, heat, or heatstroke, and may develop urinary stones or cystitis. Adults need at least 60 ml per kg daily, kittens 40-45 ml per kg; water aids metabolism and flushes germs.

If it won’t drink, feed wet food for moisture, or add canned soup, freeze-dried, or fish broth to the water to tempt it.
