Usually drinking excessive amounts of water is an indication of a kidney problem. My cat had a thyroid problem and the medication he had to take actual destroyed his kidneys and he drank and drank. She could also have a urinary tract infection. Take her to the vet, get a blood test done and have the vet check her over. It might be something that you can easily fix if you catch it now.

Are you having them proportion the identical clutter field? You will have to have a field only for the primary kitty and one for the brand new two to proportion, if they're peers. Some humans say you want one field in line with cat. Anyway that's the very first thing i might take a look at. If that's no longer serving to, you might take a look at keeping apart them for awhile, if no longer at all times, which would no longer be possible, close them in exceptional ingredients of the apartment for the night time. Make definite first cat is in his possess "territory" or favourite location to hang around/sleep and his field is in his typical location and that the others do not pass there, and close them in one other room with their possess field at night time. As the interlopers, they will have to receive some thing house you'll be able to supply them that does not intrude an excessive amount of with the primary cat's house. These obstacles can difference as they get used to one another, however the first cat demands to believe revered, so do what you'll be able to to allow him recognise he isn't going to must quit the complete apartment to the brand new ones.

Are you running the heat in your home? She could be getting over heated and dried out. Is she still eating, pooping & peeing normally and just drinking more? If her catbox habits have changed be sure to take her to the vet. If it is just increased water comsumption then she is probably OK.
Remember, even a healthy pet should get an annual check up.

Don't want to alarm you, but since you asked and you obviously care for your kitty, You might take her to the vet ASAP becuase unusual thirst in cats can be a symptom of some kind of kidney disease. Catch it early and there's a greater chance that the cat will bounce out of it.

In creased water consumption can be an indication of diabetes. If her appetite were also increasing that is a sign of hyperthyroidism.
You need to have a vet check her out. Both conditions are treatable and can be managed.

If you find this reason to be concerned, why not take her to a vet, for a check-up? I wouldn't want something to be overlooked, just because people on here tell you ''it's ok''.
