Somebody told my sister ages ago that cats prefer that their water NOT be near their food, and that one way to get your cat to drink more water is to put the water bowl someplace away from the food bowl.
This rang true for me, as our 2 previous cats would always drink out of the dog's water bowl instead of their own. We stopped putting a water bowl down for them. We do have a bowl of water in another room for the current cat but he usually drinks out of the dog's bowl anyhow.
