I'm sure you've heard it before

Hi!

I am new to the site, I also recently adopted two cats, one 7 months ago and the other 2 weeks ago.

I'm having a hard time with my first cat, liking my second, but that's really not why I'm posting.

I'm posting because my new cat seems to pee in large quantities. However, he seems to be perfectly fine. He plays a lot and doesn't have any other issues. He does sneeze quite a bit , but no mucus or other respiratory symptoms.

I adopted him because he needed a good home, however I can't afford to have him have a kidney problem. So much question is, does peeing a lot always indicate a kidney problemy or could it be normal for him? Especially since his other behavior is still the same.

Ps. I will certainly take him to the vet, but I wanted feedback to know if it could be normal.

It could be normal. Mingo peed after each meal and in between when I first got him when he was 5 months old. He pees much less now, at 2 years old. Excessive urination can also be a sign of diabetes. Your kitten sounds too young for that, but it's worth testing for. 

He is a year old. The other aspect that I'd like to add, my first cat would block my new cat from going into the laundry room, where the litter pans are. I kept him away for the first week, in the bathroom with all his necessities, so they could attempt to get to know each other. When I moved him out he started peeing in the tub, but we caught him and moved him right to the litter pan. He did it again today and that's when I noticed the large amount of pee. However, he did just wake up. Then, I wonder if he is holding it for a long time because of my other cat and her antics. (Ps. He is starting to mess with her and it's slowly getting better)

There are so many variables. I know I will have to take him in, I'm just scared to find out that it is something serious.

Can you keep a litter box elsewhere in the house? Your new cat may be holding it in because the other cat is not letting him use the one litter box in the laundry room. The rule of thumb is one litter box for each cat plus one extra and place the litter boxes in different locations so the cats have access any one of them to use. It also prevents a dominate cat from preventing other cats from using one litter box.

They do each have their own everything, but they are in the same location. I will certainly tryputting his litter box in a different area. It might help relax the tension between the two, too.

What are the thoughts on taking him to the vet? Should I try this first or just take him to make sure?

Try that AND take to the vet. Better safe than sorry.

So true! I don't want anything to happen to my little gu
