My Peeka was funny; she'd put her paw in the water dish as though she was testing it and 9 times out of 10, she wouldn't drink. Then she'd run to the kitchen, hop up on the counter and meow next to the sink. She wanted to drink out of that darned faucet! BUT...Peeka also died of renal failure. So, just to be safe, have her checked. Then if all is well, why not try a kitty fountain for her? My Fur Posse loves theirs!
