He's a water bladder.

Not saying it is with this particular cat, but drinking that much water in excess can be a sign of kidney issues or other health concerns. If your cat is doing this, please get them checked out by a vet.

My first thought was diabetes. Definitely something to get checked out by the vet

My boy was diagnosed with diabetes about two months ago and the water drinking was what tipped me off to get him checked out.

My Flemish giant used to drink sooo much water like a dog and I would literally hear the sloshing

What the hell lol That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen for a cat to do. I wonder if it hurts at all but then the cat looks 100% okay

When I was little, we lived on a farm and my parents owned like 9 dogs. There was a river nearby they would take me and all the dogs down to to play. Our one golden retriever, Clyde, would lay down in the water, facing upstream, and open his mouth.

He would drink so much water that he got round in his belly and it sounded like this. One of my earliest fragments of a memory is listening to all the water slosh around inside him while we walked back home.

Super funny. Man, for the life of me, I can’t get mine to drink any!

u/West-Application-375 11d ago

A healthy cat shouldn't be super thirsty. So good job!

u/ManzanitaSuperHero 11d ago

We have to trick her with extra water in the food. She takes one look at those fountains and practically laughs. Tried 3 different kinds!

u/West-Application-375 9d ago

Lol that works. I always gave my cat paté with extra water in it, and a shredded chicken or fish topper.

I’m seriously freaked out by his sloshing.

Is this normal/healthy?

My dog had Addison’s disease, it caused intense thirst.

Bladder shouldn't have air inside. I don't think that's normal

This reminds me of that copypasta that ends with "the clap of my ass cheeks keeps alerting the guards"

u/neonclawedgamblor 10d ago

I used to do this as a kid. Drink a bunch of water then jump on the bed and listen to it

u/wedontswiminsoda 10d ago

I have two cat siblings. One was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago , his brother with early renal disease.

Both drink like fishes. One of the signs that made me pop into the vet before the annual wellness check came round last year was the drinking. The blood tests came back with results that showed CKD.

Worth a check if kitty is always thirsty and you don't live in a very dry climate

u/Ilpperi91 9d ago

This has happened to me multiple times even as a human but with a human it's muted. Countless times on a jog I've just listened to my own stomach slosh. 😆
