In general, cats have adapted to fairly arid climates and do not require much water - generally only a few ounces per day. If Guzu is eating canned cat food, she is likely getting most of her water requirements from the food itself. If you are concerned, you can mix some additional water into the food. However, if she is eating strictly dry food, she will need to drink water. Some cats prefer drinking from running water sources, such as a trickling faucet or a cat water fountain. If Guzu is otherwise eating, active and not showing signs of vomiting or diarrhea, this is not a big concern. However, if she is showing you other issues, such as not eating, lethargy, vomiting or diarrhea, she should be evaluated by a vet. I hope this helps!
