Dittos on the water usage. I have a 1/2 gallon container inside for my pets to drink out of. Sometimes it is nearly dry after just one night. I can always tell when Water Tabby is drinking because it sounds as though I left the spiggot on, and then he comes in soaking wet, with water all over the bathroom floor! Plus, the water container is full of dirt from his front paws. For a Christmas gift, found a cat food special (canned food) at one of our local grocery stores, and I bought a stack of it.
