My cat Treasure has always had an obsession with water. She likes to play in it and get herself wet. She also likes to drink water out of the bathtub, sink and faucet and has become more and more obsessed with doing so. This has been a part of her personality since she was a young kitten, so when she began drinking the water bowl and fountain dish dry I was not concerned at first. It didn't seem like she was drinking more than normal since I also saw her playing in it and dumping it on the floor and assumed that this is what was happening with all of the water. I also have 2 other cats as well who sometimes play in water dishes or knock them over. Over the past several months I have noticed that she is becoming more and more vocal and demanding about me turning the water on in the bathroom ( she will sit in the bathroom meowing constantly until someone turns on the water and lets her drink) and will drink the water dishes dry to the point that I am refilling them twice as often as before. She also seems to have a bit of water weight in her belly, which doesn't really seem 'normal' to me but the vet wasn't concerned when I took her in to see her. She said it was probably because she was drinking so much water and thought it was diet related. They didn't run any tests and just told me to avoid giving her any dry food or mix water in with her food. However I am still concerned and would like to know what things to watch out for. She is not even 2 years old yet.
