Increased thirst can be a sign of underlying health issues:
1. Chronic kidney insufficiency: The body struggles to absorb and reuse water, leading to increased urine output and, consequently, a higher intake of fluids.
2. Diabetes, often seen in overweight cats, results in high blood sugar levels. This causes cells to dehydrate, prompting an increase in both urine and water consumption.
3. Pyometra, a condition that can lead to high fever, is associated with an overgrowth of bacteria that produce toxins, causing excessive drinking and urination.
4. Other factors include endocrine disorders and hyperadrenocorticism, which can also trigger an increase in thirst.
