I adopted my cat (7 years old, male) 1.5 months ago. Until a couple days ago, I had never seen him drink water from his water bowl. I have been adding water to his wet food to compensate for his apparent lack of thirst.
Recently he started eating only half of his wet food so I started leaving out dry food for him to nibble on.
A couple days ago, I noticed him drinking out of my water glass, so I gave him his own little water glass. Now he's drinking water out of the glass several times a day.
Should I be concerned about Wali's increased thirst? Could it be related to the addition of supplemental dry food to his diet?
Is it possible there is a connection between his increased thirst and his habit of only eating half of his wet food? (He'll eat a full serving of wet food in the morning, but in the evening only ever eats half— which is why I've started leaving him dry food to nibble on).
