Is My Cat Urinating Too Much?

My cat Jade is approx 6mo old. She seems to urinate often, IMO, but I'm not sure if that's the case. She goes around 4-6 times/day. She also poops a couple times a day. She gets 1/2 can of Fancy Feast (classic pate, no fish flavors) twice a day, and dry food in bowl overnight. She always has fresh water in a small bowl and drinks about 1 bowl every 24 hours. She's urinated like this for as long as we've had her, but it just seems like a lot. She doesn't urinate anywhere other than her box either. Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. My cat did the same thing until he was older. He doesn't go so often now, and the urine clumps are much larger. 

You brought up something else I meant to mention, some of the pee clumps are huge. Usually a couple of large ones and a couple of smaller ones. Is that still normal?

My girl has huge pee clumps too. In her case it's nothing to worry about, but I did take a urine sample to the vet for thorough testing - sometimes it can be an indication that there's something wrong (such as diabetes or kidney problems). Call me paranoid, but I'd definitely want it checking out - just to be certain that everything is working properly.

Normal How much urine is produced varies all the time just like it does in people. It depends on how much water the cat drinks or gets from the food, how dehydrated the body is, how active the cat is, etc. Don't worry about the size of the pee clumps unless there's something really off with them, like spots of blood or teeny tiny drops (could indicate a urinary tract issue) or huge sticky sugary smelling clumps (typical symptoms of diabetes).
