I'm a little worried, as I have not personally seen my kitten, Ares, drink from his water bowl in almost a month. He's on a wet food/raw diet and I always add a little bit of water to both the wet and raw, just because he likes to lap up juice before eating the meat. Is this enough for him? He seems to pee normally, actually more then I thought he would be, and has no problems running around my house like a maniac. Is this normal for a cat on a full wet/raw diet? especially if I continue to add a little extra water to all of his food?

Should I perhaps invest in a cat water bubbler?

Thanks folks,

Ares

My cats are on wet food and I rarely see them drink, either.  I think it's normal for a cat on wet food, if he's acting normal I wouldn't worry about it.  Especially since you are adding water to his food.

Thanks, you're probably right. I'll probably start adding a little more water to his food (more then I'm adding now.) just to put my mind at ease haha.

Wouldn't this actually be quite normal because he is getting more water from the raw/wet than he would be from dry?

Yeah, I was just worried that he wasn't drinking water AT ALL. But he seems to be fine - and still not drinking water haha
