Hello! I'm glad you reached out with this concern about your cat. Cats can be quite secretive, so it might seem like they aren't drinking much when they're actually getting enough water. This could happen if they're eating wet food, which contains a lot of moisture.
However, if your cat genuinely hasn't had any water for two months, it might be experiencing an underlying issue such as kidney problems, dental pain, or illness. Cats naturally have a low thirst drive, but they do need water to stay healthy.
Try observing your cat for other signs, such as lethargy, decreased appetite, or changes in urination. It might help to offer them fresh water daily, provide a pet water fountain, or even add water to their food to encourage more intake.
Dehydration can become a serious concern if not addressed. Signs of severe dehydration include sunken eyes, dry gums, and skin that doesn't snap back quickly when gently pinched. If you spot any of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek veterinary care promptly.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets through Dial A Vet to discuss your cat's health. This will help in understanding any potential issues and guide you on the next steps needed to support your furry friend.

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
