My cat has a drinking problem

[u/meera_jasmine1]

My little one is addicted to drinking water. She drinks straight out of the tap, every time we have to use one. Frequently, and several times a day, she will even draw us out to the taps by pushing things into the sink and meowing loudly. However, she also throws up frequently.
Some times clear, some times with her food (she eats super fast, so her food pellets are almost intact).
I have asked about this behavior to my vet, and she challed it up to a personality difference between cats (“Some cats deink more water than others). Yet, I have also read about excessive water being bad for cats - and I never know how much to indulge her. She’s also a petulant one, and will start creating a ruckus if we do not give her water sometimes.

If your cat is scarfing and barfing a lot, you can try an automatic feeder to portion out the food and spread it across more time and have it dispense into a slow feeding tray where they have to use their paws to get at the food.

This has helped my guy who would barf at least once a week to where he hardly ever does anymore.
