How? Cats don’t hydrate well from simply drinking water. They take water on more from their food, which is why it is important they get some kind of wet food, and not just dry kibble.
Also, it’s more helpful to encourage drinking water by having it in a wide, shallow dish with some kind of pattern on the bottom so they can see it is water.
A little over a year ago we switched all of our cats to a wet food diet. Before that I never realized how little water they get from drinking. It is something like 1/12 of a teaspoon per “lick” (0.409ml).
My cat stopped drinking water entirely since i switched his diet to wet food. Although I do add an additional spoon of water to his food just to be sure he stays hydrated

Mine empty their bowl regularly to the point they learned to move it around noisily to make sure i know to refill it
Mine must be exceptional i guess, just like their ol’ sopularityfax

I assure you, mine are quite a directly thirsty bunch. I must have to water them basically every other day, it seems
I am guessing you only give them dry food.
