Hello! I'm glad you've reached out about your cat's increased drinking and urination. This behavior can be concerning and may indicate an underlying health issue.
Cats tend to drink more water and urinate frequently for several reasons. One common cause is diabetes, where the body cannot regulate blood sugar well, leading to excessive thirst and urination. Kidney issues, such as chronic kidney disease, can also cause similar symptoms. Hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid is overactive, may also be a culprit.
To help at home, ensure your cat always has access to fresh, clean water. Monitor their litter box habits to gauge the frequency and amount of urination. It can be helpful to note any changes in appetite, weight, or activity levels, as these details are useful when discussing your cat's health with a vet.
Keep an eye out for signs that need immediate attention, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weight loss, or any changes in personality. These could indicate a more serious condition that requires prompt veterinary care.
For a thorough evaluation and tailored advice, I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can provide guidance specific to your cat’s situation, ensuring the best care possible.

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
