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.

They get all necessary nutrition from wild prey, such as birds, rodents, and even small reptiles. Some people feed raw food diets to their housecats that mimic the natural diet, and as long as basic precautions are taken to ensure these meats are free of bacteria and that the food is balanced, it is a very healthy diet. Cats are desert animals, and in their natural state, they drink next to no water. Instead, they get most of their required moisture from the prey (raw meat is up to 85% water).
