We just adopted a 2 year old female medium hair domestic cat from the humane society about two weeks ago. This is my first cat. She is so lovely and such a great cat.
My question is: She seems to drink a LOT of water. She likes to drink water as soon as we fill her bowl (Although I have heard her drink out of her bowls through the night). I know I get her fresh water twice a day and my fiance once a day. She'll sit there and lap up water for at least 2 minutes before finally taking a break. Is this a normal amout of drinking?
I have 2 guina pigs and I know excessive water drinking is attributed to diabetes. The vets at the humane society checked her out, she is up to date on all shots and I had my vet check her out when I first got her (before I had the drinking question). Any advise would be appreciated.
