Hi, I am sure Autumn is missing her brother however this would not normally affect the amount of water she drinks. Cats would normally get water from their preys in nature, so they tend not to drink much. You can try to increase the water intake by adding an extra water station, ideally keep water and food bowls separate and use a large bowl where the cat does not touch the edges with the whiskers when drinking. Some cats like to drink from running water and you will be able to find different ones on line. Hope this helps.
