Great question! Typically cats are not really big drinkers, but I'm a big fan of the cat water fountains. It provides a continual source of fresh water, and it actually encourages cats to drink more. I have one for my four cats, and they happily drink from it daily. It's a good idea to mix some water in with Milo's food to get some more water into him, and you can also give him canned food. That has a higher moisture content than dry food. If you are interested in getting him a water fountain, you can find them in pet stores and online. I hope this helps!
