The best sign of a dehydrated cat is to pull on the skin on the back of its neck (the scruff). In a hydrated cat the skin will immediately spring back, but if the cat is dehydrated the skin will go back to normal a lot slower.

Unfortunately, cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by).

In really severe cases, losing weight and a cat that begins to drink a ton of water is a sign of Diabetes or life threatening kidney failure.
