Cats evolved from desert dwellers and often don’t like drinking water, they rarely do so in nature and get most of their liquids from their food. If a cat only eats dry food and doesn’t drink enough kidney disease is just an inevitability. Of our 3 cats only one of them drinks water regularly.
Dry food is the worst between their diabetes risk and CKD risk.
Really? I give my cats dry food, but there’s no grain in it, all meat. Expensive, but worth it!
That reduces diabetes risk, but not CKD risk.

Interesting. Well, I can confirm that my cats drink water, and a lot of it! One is nearly 13, the other 4, and they both drink multiple times per day.
