If cats exercise heavily or eat salty food, they will drink more water. Cats are basically healthy as long as there are no abnormal symptoms of frequent urination and inability to urinate.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the owner changes the cat with fresh and clean boiled water every day, the cat will drink it. If the water source is clean and there is no smell in the basin, and the cat still doesn't like to drink it, consider preparing more containers and putting them in a quiet place for it to choose from. In addition, consider giving your cat wet food, such as canned staple food, which can supplement your cat with nutrition and water.

If cats who have been drinking normal water suddenly increase their water consumption, it may also be a manifestation of some diseases. Such as: decreased renal function, endocrine diseases, diabetes, uterine empyema and other diseases. Once cats are found to have abnormal drinking and urination, they should be sent to the hospital immediately for examination.
