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.

What causes urinary crystals in cats?

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.
