Why is my cat suddenly drinking and eating more after moving?

Question

My cat is almost a year old, we recently moved from Texas to Nevada, and I've noticed she's been drinking more water and trying to eat more than usual. Could this be from the move, or is it life-threatening? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 months and 20 days old | 5 lbs

It definitely can be from the environment. Texas has a lot more humidity then Nevada. I would recommend trying to water down her food or giving her wet food. If you feel she really is drinking too much then letting a veterinarian look at her and perform blood work to check her kidneys. With her age and your recent move it sounds more like the environment then something with her organs. Congratulations on the move and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
