Hello, sorry to hear about Masha. Cats may sometimes prefer stale water, not fresh water. However, deepening on what Masha's diet is, she may be obtaining her water intake from any canned food you may be feeding her. Cats typically do not drink too much as they tend to gain their water needs through their food. Monitor for any lethargy, decrease in appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, and have her evaluated if you note any. Hope this helps and best of luck.
