I had a vet tell me that cats are never well hydrated because they are desert animals, and are used to getting their moisture from their food.
She said male cats especially, because the shape of their plumbing, are really susceptible to urinary tract issues.
To prevent all this, it was recommended we feed with wet food as much as possible. Maybe worth a try? Our 11 year old luckily has avoided any issues so far following that advice.
