So far it sounds like we limit his water to about 24 ounces/day and we've dodged a bullet for now. He's 14 and I'm grateful for every day.
The old cat drinks a lot of water. He always did but the last 2 years he just guzzles it. Vet said he was diabetic and he was having a lot of problems We changed his diet and he lost a bunch of weight and did a lot better for the last 18 months but hasn't cut back on the water.
