He's not like that before. I noticed it a few days ago, he's asking for water for about 5 times a day. I always leave his water bowl full, he's not drinking it, he likes to drink in the bathroom. Every time he hears someone inside the bathroom, he will beg for water, he even wakes me up in the morning for water. Even my mom noticed it.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

Ok, not to panic - but, have you noticed anything else? More peeing? Weight change? Behavior change?
Sometimes, increased thirst can be linked to diabetes. I'm a paranoid mama - I'd probably be scheduling a vet visit just to make sure it's not physically-linked.
Or, he's telling you he wants a pet fountain, now!

My first inclination would be a vet visit to r/o diabetes. I have had 2 diabetic cats and that was my first sign.
Hopefully, it't not. If it is, it is not too difficult to manage.
Good luck. Let us know.

Could be diabetes--this seems the most common cause of this--or it could also be renal disease. Not to scare you or anything--but you can't know till you've had him checked at the vet's. Definitely abnormal what you're describing though. How old is Charlie?

Charlie is 1 year old...I'm thinking if it is because of the season, summer is coming...it's getting hot. I'll take him to the vet.
