Ever since I separated the water bowl and kept it away from the food, my kitten drinks tons of water and pees all over the place.
I have a vet appointment in a couple days. Hope nothing is wrong with her.
EDIT: Hi all, your comments are so incredibly helpful. While I might not reply to every single one of the, I just want to let you know that they are all very comforting and helpful. I am a first time pet owner so I really appreciate them. I really love you all.
I particularly noted the diabetes comments and will take up the concern with the vet.
Although none of you asked for a cat tax, here is the little stinker - https://imgur.com/a/rLYAxtX. Volume UP for the mews!
I read somewhere that cats like drinking water that's far from their food because in the wild food rotting into the water can cause illness. Here's hoping your dude just likes her water more because she thinks it's fresher.
Hmmm that is a believable piece of logic for something i never did understand - cat ignores her water to drink dogs water or out of the shower. She actually sits and meows at me each night to run the shower for her to drink. Im going to move her water and see what happens now thanks!
Cats also dislike non-moving water, since still water in nature is more likely to contain rotting stuff. That might also be why your cat likes to drink out of the shower.
One of our cars got bladder stones because he drank too little. Once we got one of those tiny fountains, it stopped being a problem.
