My cat has 2 bowls of fresh water kept clean and changed every day.
I caught him licking the moisture from a sink after I washed my hands in it...

My strategy is to just add a measure of water to his wet food twice a day, which ends up being more water than he'd drink throughout the day on his own.
I'm hoping it'll help him avoid some issues as he grows old.

You're a good parent, keep it up!

It probably will. Their kidneys get all fucked up because some of them just refuse to drink water. Wet food is the way to trick them.
