They will but they can get really bad viruses and other germs from it being so close to the litter box, most cats tend to kick their litter to cover the mess. It should be about 6-10 ft. from the litter box.

Can cats and dogs drink water out of the same bowl?
Hi there. I have 3 indoor cats, 2 females and 1 male. They share a water bowl but do not like to share food with each other. Depending on how many cats you have, get the appropriate number of food and water bowls to feed them with, if they decide to share 1 bowl, take the other(s) away. Most cat behaviours vary depending on the sex, age, breed, and basic personality of each feline, making it almost impossible to determine whether or not 1 cat will do what another will. The best way to figure out if your cats will share food and water is to try it.
How do cats drink water?
they lap their tongue in it, to give your cat water just put it in a food bowl (the same type you would use for food) and your cat should drink it. Not the same one you use for their food though!!! And keep both clean, the bowls and the food and the water.

How do you get your cats to drink out of their water bowl?
Cats have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and can easily detect any decomposing proteins in their food or water. Cats, given the option, will only drink from the freshest water sources such as dripping faucets and toilet bowls.Domestic cats, like their wild ancestors and cousins, are designed to get their moisture from their food, so will not often drink water out of a bowl or other water source unless very thirsty. Of course, there are many ways of trying to entice a cat to drink more:Feed more wet food: If you are feeding them wet cat food that has a high water content in it, it may be enough for them most of the time. A cat's body consists of about 67% water. Coincidentally, that is approximately the same percentage of water in the prey they catch and eat in the wild. A cat in the wild meets its moisture requirements just from the prey it eats. Wet cat food usually consists of 70% - 80% waterDifferent bowls and Water Fountains: Some cats are allergic to plastic bowls and will avoid them. Many cats will prefer glass or ceramic bowls to plastic, as plastic will start to decay after time and constant use.Another trick is to buy a bowl that circulates the water. Many cats prefer moving water. Investing in a water fountain specially designed for cats is an excellent way of enticing a cat to drink, as the water is constantly moving and kept fresh.Water Freshness and Filtration: Filtered water may help as it filters out all the chlorine and other chemicals in the water, particularly if you live in a 'hard water' area. Our cats think the overflow/drain valve on the water softner is a super place for water!A plastic ball in the water can help cats 'locate' the surface of the water. The theory is that cats cannot see the still surface of the water, so will not attempt to drink from it.Keep replacing the water in their bowl every couple of hours and that should improve their desire to drink out of the bowl, on hot days it may even become simply too warm for them.

How do you prepare for a cat?
Get a litter box, food bowl, water bowl, bed, cat toys, a brush, a pet book for cats, and have the cat examined by your own vet before you take possession of it. One more important thing: Think about costs, short and long term. If you think that you can't afford one, don't get one.
Can cats drink water?
Yes, sometimes cats will drink water. However, a cat has evolved to derive water from its prey/food, so will not often drink from a bowl unless very dehydrated.

You can feed the cat as you wish to. I personally have two cats and they have a bowl that fills itself up after the bottom portion is empty. They do not seem to mind sharing the same food or water bowl.
