Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This question cannot be answered without further information since her dietary intake, what type of food, etc are all tied into her daily water consumption. Canned food is high in water and dry food is very low in water so this will affect water consumption. Try asking this question again with more details. Also, how active is she? Is she an indoor only, indoor/outdoor, or completely outdoor cat.
