Cats generally prefer to have their food and water separate, as they instinctively like to keep their food and water sources apart. This helps mimic their natural behavior of hunting and drinking from different locations in the wild.
Cats may not like water near their food because they have a natural instinct to keep their food and water sources separate to avoid contamination. Additionally, the smell of food near water may make the water less appealing to them.

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. It's best to keep cat food and water separate because nobody likes a soggy meal, not even your feline friend. Plus, who wants their water getting all gross and crumbly from food bits? So do your cat a favor and give them their own space to chow down and hydrate.
cats dont like dog food because its gross to cats and not healthy for them.
Cats are known to do this if they are out of food and/or water. They may also want fresh water, or may not like the food brand that you are giving them (thus are requesting better food).
Turkish Van cats like water, so not all cats hate water.
Cats usually contracts urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food, as cats have evolved to derive water from its prey/food, so will not often drink from a bowl like a dog readily does. Pet cats, like their wild ancestors and cousins, are still designed to get their moisture from their food. Cats naturally have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own unless severely dehydrated. Aside from food, some cats can contract a UTI from being overly stressed.
so they have water and food supply close by. Tigers like to swim. Big cats like to be clean. Water helps in the cleaning process...

You should not give them milk, as it is bad for them as it is for cats. Water is good:) and don't feed them human food, as like a cat, they will start to behave like they are a god. They like cat food.
The best types of cat food and water dishes to use for your pet are ceramic or stainless steel dishes. These materials are durable, easy to clean, and do not harbor bacteria like plastic dishes can. It is important to choose shallow dishes to prevent whisker fatigue in cats. Additionally, consider using separate dishes for food and water to maintain hygiene.
