Oh, one more thing: don't put your cat's water next to their food. Separate the two by at least 4 meters. Across the room, or preferably in another room. Get a water bowl that'll hold a few liters and auto fills. Cats don't like their water by their food, and you should make sure your cat always has plenty available. Also they like water that's moving. A fountain is good, but my cat took to the self filling water bowl just fine and it seems to work a lot better for her. Once I switched to it from water just in a bowl the amount she drank tripled.
