Please have your cat checked by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Constant thirst could be a sign of kidney problems or diabetes. If caught
early enough, these conditions can be treated.

It sounds like diabetes. They get very thirsty. Take her to the vet and tell
the vet about drinking a lot.

And the excess peeing. (Indicative of CRF, I don't know if diabetes, too.)

Yes, see a vet right now... sounds like chronic renal failure.

Could also be diabetes. Yes, he or she needs to take the cat to a vet ASAP.

Let us know what your vet has to say, okay?
With our cat, it was diabetes. He also lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks.
Good luck with your guy,
Rhonda
