Why won't my 3-year-old cat drink water but wants the faucet?

Question

Our 3 year old cat is refusing to drink but will eat. She goes up to the faucet and asks for it to be turned on, moves toward it but then won't drink once you do. She had distemper a couple months ago but had fully recovered and gained back all of her weight. We re recently brought in two new kittens that were quarantined for two weeks. They had a little sneeze but that's it. Strong otherwise. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | 6 lbs

I'd feed Cupquake canned food, or add some low sodium gently warmed chicken broth to her dry food. I'd also recommend getting her a pet water fountain. It provides a continuous source of fresh water, and encourages the cat to drink. I have one for my cats, and they love it. You can get one at a pet store. I hope this helps.
