Ok so i have to make sure my cat is peeing by today, but idk how to checked to make sure. The sample i collected earlier, looked like pee, because it was just all litter( i broke it open and crushed it to make sure). Im pretty sure it was pee, but someone told me it might be diarhea. He did get and upset stomach earlier this week and it might of came back.
Im pretty sure it was pee, but it was hidden mid level in the litter box. Usaully whe. I scoop his box the pee comes ou in a large cluster. This time it was different, but i think it could be caused by his damaged pee-pee.

If it's solid poop it's really obviously poop. If he's having bad diarrhea it could be all liquid but it will be brown or yellow coloured and will smell really bad. Normal urine doesn't change the colour of the cat litter that much, so if you are seeing clumps of cat litter that are stuck together, aren't brown and don't smell terrible then it's probably pee.

If you break a chunk of litter and its diarrhea your nose will tell you. Your litter scoop that you broke it up with will be a mess too.
