My kitten for some odd reason uses the cat box constantly. I will see him jump in probablay almost 10 times a day like once he has anything back in his bladder he lets it go. Is this something to be concerned about?

Watch him closely and check the litter to see if he is really wetting when he gets in the box. Also watch him and see if he appears to be straining trying to urinate. When he gets out is he constantly licking himself? If so, I would take him to the vet.
He could have some kind of infection or blockage.

My kitten goes several times a day too. Maybe it's a kitten thing?
Harley does that too--he will jump in and out several times, I think he does it just to make a mess!
even if he doesnt lick himself a lot...please still watch him....Emmets blockage started with him frequently going to the cat box....then it was the licking......then the dragging his butt on the floor....then it was a trip to the emergency room.....
it may be nothing, but please watch him anyways.......

Ill be sure to watch for liucking but i havent seen him lick at all, right now im thinking hes just using it for the hell of it, cause its not like he will rush over to pee, its more lke he will see it so decides to use it. plus he does drink a lot of water also so it may make him have to pee more regularly.

well just to be on safe side i made a appointment with the vet at the shelter, poopers now has an 11am check up on wednesday. Hopefully i can the whole urinating thing settled. and his coughing and sneezing has come back from nothing, so if that doesnt clear back up by then ill have them check that up also.
let us know how it goes.....
