Your kitten is very beautiful.  Do you use a clumping litter?

It is not normal for your kitten to not pee at all.  Depending on what your kitten is eating and drinking it may pee more or less, but not at all?  of course if you are using a clumping littler, it will make a hard ball and might make you think it is poop.  I don't think the drops on your lap are from your kitten marking, I think it is having a trickle problem which makes me think it migth be having a little bit of urinary tract infection. Kittens are notorious for not drinking enough water, and getting their liquid from their diet - but in captivity, if you are feeding dry foods, and the kitten is not drinking anything, this is not healthy. if the kitten has a urinary tract infection, then it is probalby painful to pee and the kitten is avoiding doing it, and then it is having little trickles...  Thats just my guess.

I am sorry I cannot be more help without seeing your kitten and even seeing it, I am not a vet so it would just be guesses.  I am sure others will pop in to offer advice.

How long have you had the kitten?  If it hasn't been peeing since you got it, maybe the breeder woudl agree to have a vet check the kitten out.

Did the breeder have the kitten to the vet at all yet? a responsible breeder will have the kittens up to date on their shots and wormed before letting them to go new homes... if she had him to vet for kitten care, the vet might be willing to look at this kitten for her for little or no charge.

Did the breeder offer a health guarantee for the poor baby?

I think that he's urinating somewhere, you just have to figure out where.  I would add a second box and see if that helps.  Feeding him a canned food (pouch or tinned) will help keep him hydrated.

My cat had urinary problem not too long ago, and had to take him to the vet. He now has to eat a special food, but when he had it wrong with him it was bad. he could barely walk, and the main sign is that there is no pee clumps, or if they are very small. Either that or he is peeing somewhere else?

thank you so much ..i'm using a non clumping litter ..after you mintioned it i went to check the litter bag and it was written that it is ULTRA absorbent and odour control and i think thats why i didnt notice any urine in it as long as i clean it everyday and change the whole litter every weekend  :)

so i think my angora did it as usual and i'm not worry about this point anymore..now i have only to find out about the unusual urine dribbling every time he lay on my lap .i read the links you send and watched some youtubes ..but i already do what they said..i dont see why my kitten might be stressed or afrid as long as it only did it when it is relaxed and laying peacefully on my lap -it's just a little drop. He does not usually leave urine stains on furniture or anything else, though he does sometimes. When he does leave stains they are about the size of 2/3 of a dime and are odorless and disappear quickly leaving no residual stain. Just a tiny amount. I also notice it when he's playing or cuddling/k
neading..
