How? Cats don’t hydrate well from simply drinking water. They take water on more from their food, which is why it is important they get some kind of wet food, and not just dry kibble.
YSK: Put an icecube in your pets water disbh, it will encourage adequate hydration

My cat stopped drinking water entirely since i switched his diet to wet food. Although I do add an additional spoon of water to his food just to be sure he stays hydrated

A little over a year ago we switched all of our cats to a wet food diet. Before that I never realized how little water they get from drinking. It is something like 1/12 of a teaspoon per “lick” (0.409ml).
