Yes, cats need fresh water - as mentioned above they do not like stale water. They also do not like deep dishes as they hate it when their whiskers get wet. Just like people, cats need water - especially when all they are eating is VERY DRY KIBBLE.
My friend Amber's cat recently had a Urinary Tract Infection and since the cats food is targeted for that, it is safe to assume this cat had a UTI. One of the best ways to prevent a UTI is or a cat to get enough water/fluid.
So please give this kitty enough water and advise your friend to make sure the kitty gets enough water...its abuse not to give the cat some water. They need it just like we do (and at least we get some liquid/hydration from our food). Imagine if all you got were some corn pops or kibbles all day and nothing to wash them down with?
