My new girl that I adopted on the weekend; she's about 1-2 yrs old. Very healthy. While she's been in my spare room and isolated from my other cats, I've been better able to keep an eye on her litterbox habits, to note any concerns.
It seems that each day I'm scooping out the box and there's a good 5-6 normal sized clumps (maybe a little tiny smaller than a golf ball size clump) in the box. My older cats have always peed 2, maybe 3 times a day max (usually once in the morning prior to feed time, then once in the evening).
She's definitely not straining, no repeated trips to the box.....she pees a normal amount so I'm really not worried about a UTI or any such issue, but just curious if this is a normal frequency? Maybe younger cats pee more often because their overall metabolism is higher?
She eats 1 can of Fancy Feast in the morning and 1 can at night...and is able to nibble on Wellness Dry throughout the day (she seems to eat more of the canned food, which is good). I do also always add a little water to canned food, do that for all my cats. Could this be why she seems to pee more times a day?
Thx
