All cats are carnivores, so they get all their nutrients from meat. If a cat has access outside, it could eat small birds, mice, rats, and other small animals. Cat food with a high meat content is very ideal, as it provides the cat with all it needs.
As for liquid, cats do not drink much. They have evolved to get all needed moisture from their prey, which is why feeding some wet food daily or investing in something like a pet water fountain is important.

∙ 11y agoCats allowed to hunt will eat the prey they catch, often: mice and other small mammals, bugs and Spiders, fish, and birds. Domestic cats should get prepared cat food, either dry or wet. If you want to make your own cat food, check with a vet first to make sure you are providing a complete diet and not giving the cat too much fat (e.g.). The best thing for cats to drink is water; while some of them like milk, not all do, and once they are weaned, cats lose the enzymes that process lactose, so milk can have bad effects on their digestion.

How much do cats drink?
i have a cat i give it milk and water she drinks about 3-4 litres a day of water and about 1 litre of milk but my next doors cat doesnt drink that much id say about 2-3 litres That will depend on the individual cat, the type of food it eats and your home environment (i.e. if it is very warm in your home). If a cat is on wet food (meat or pate) then they will tend to drink very little as the water content in their food is very high. If they are on dry cat food then some cats may drink more as they need to substitute the water they are missing out on from the dry food. However, many cats will not drink enough water while on dry food. Some cats may drink as little as 50% of their water intake. Two ways that help cats drink more is to leave a tap on, or purchase a pet water fountain. Many cats are fickle when it comes to water and will only drink fresh moving water. A running tap or fountain keeps water constantly moving and fresh, and both methods are very successful in enticing a cat to drink more water. Always make fresh water available no matter what food they are on.
