Cat Always Drinks An Oddly Large Amount of Water?!

I thought it might be the younger one doing it (she likes hacking hairballs on people feet, the weirdo) but I caught him doing it the other day, so I think it was him all along.

To every one saying to take him to the vet, I would, except that I can't afford it right now. My father refuses to help me pay any possible vet bills, saying "well if he has a disease, it doesn't matter because he'll die soon!" (since the cat is roughly 16). I would just take him myself, but as I have no way to pay the bills, I've be pretty screwed. I guess I'll just have to set aside some money from my paychecks...

That's understandable, vet bills can get very expensive. For now just watch him and make sure any other symptoms don't show up. I think it should be fine as long as your cat is happy and comfortable. He is older now so I don't think you'd want to put him through a lot of stress if he did end up having a disease. It's probably a mild kidney disease, most older cats get that. Just make sure he doesn't seem to be suffering. You could start saving money for some very basic things such as an exam and maybe one blood test if you really want to know. Just keep in mind that he is 16 and things tend to pop up the older they get. For the future it's good to be prepared and have a savings account for your pets in the event that they do get sick.
