My cat licks walls and won't drink from her bowl. Should I worry?

Question

My cat licks bricks and walls, drinking water from the sink sometimes, now she refuses to drink from her water bowl and is sleeping in the bathroom to get water. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Some cats do prefer to drink from running water so a pet fountain may be a good idea. But if she is drinking more than usual a visit to the vet is needed for possible bloodwork to rule out things like kidney disease.
