      Cats get very little moisture through drinking. An average house cat gets something like 1/12th of a teaspoon of liquid per “lap” of their tongue. You would be better off adding some water to its dry food, if dry food is all it is fed.

          Is there a reason you’re unable to provide wet food? I know it can be a bit more expensive, but my vet said even literally a tablespoon of wet food a day mixed with some water is extremely beneficial for their health and will lead to lower vet bills over time.

            Some people, vets included, have this notion that wet food is a treat and should be given sparingly.
