Can jelly food help with water intake?

I’m looking at jelly cat food Karachi because my cat doesn’t drink much water directly. Since jelly-style wet food contains plenty of moisture, I’m considering it as another way to add water to her daily meals.

    Hi, You're right, wet food can be a great way to naturally increase the water intake of a cat that doesn't drink much. However, I’d take a close look at the ingredients of that food in jelly before making it a daily staple: if it’s going to make up a large part of her diet, it’s best if it’s labelled as a **complete food** and tailored to a cat's needs, rather than just a supplement or a treat. Cats also like having several water sources, a fountain, or just fresh water that's changed regularly. And if you feel she's drinking very little and not urinating much, seems tired, is losing weight, or has had a recent change in her habits, it's better to speak to the vet rather than just focusing on increasing her water intake.
