My cat started drinking more water few months before he was diagnosed with scc. He wanted canned pate food all the time but would eat only 2-3 tsp. every 3 hours or so. Later months he would look at his food bowl and sniff it but then drink water instead. I now feel he was hungry but in pain at the time and drank more water to relieve his discomfort. I wish I knew his mouth was hurting so bad, I would have given him kmr milk. He wasn’t getting enough calories and nutrients. This was before he was on steroids.
Steroids did increase hunger, thirst and urine. I definitely noticed it in my cat.
