How Much Water Should My Cat Drink in a Day?

Based on your pet’s weight and energy level, your cat should be drinking approximately ounces of water per day

On hot days, expect your cat to need more water. Adult cats will generally drink when thirsty, so make sure to provide lots of cool, fresh water for them. Kittens and senior cats may need to be reminded to keep up with their water intake, so if you do not observe them drinking regularly, make sure to lead them to their water bowl and encourage them to drink.

The above calculator is meant to serve as a general guide for your cat. Every pet has their own unique needs, and therefore, we recommend that you speak to your veterinarian if you have concerns about your pet’s nutrition, including how much your cat should be drinking each day.
