Hi there! It's great that you're tuned into your cat's drinking habits, as changes can sometimes signal something noteworthy. Cats usually drink about 2.5 to 4.5 ounces of water per 5 pounds of body weight daily. If you notice your cat drinking significantly more, it could be due to various reasons.
Increased thirst can sometimes be a reaction to hot weather or a switch to dry food. However, excessive drinking can also point to health issues like diabetes, kidney problems, or hyperthyroidism. Keep an eye on other signs like frequent urination, weight loss, changes in appetite, or lethargy, as these could indicate a more serious problem.
At home, ensure fresh water is always available, and measure how much your cat drinks over a day or two. This information can be really helpful if consulting with a vet. Watch for any behavioral changes or signs of distress.
If your cat shows some of these signs or if you're just unsure, it might be wise to have a professional check things out. A video consult with a vet can provide peace of mind and advice tailored specifically to your furry friend’s needs. Consider booking a session with Dial A Vet to discuss your concerns further.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
