My kitten pees almost 5 times a day. Is that normal?
How old is the kitten? Young kittens, like young kids have poor bladder control and that may explain it.My kitten pees almost 5 times a day. Is that normal?
@Well, more in = more out . Generally, it isn't necessary to add water to a cat's wet food, unless they prefer the consistency. Given that the frequency hasn't changed it may be normal for her, but whenever a cat is peeing a lot it is a cause for concern, generally with cats a bit older than yours, but it is possible for younger cats to develop kidney issues so if it was me, i'd err on the side of caution and get her a vet visit, and if possible bring in a pee sample (free catch by holding a cup or saucer under her when she goes).
would it be better if i were to stop adding water in her food and then observe how much she drinks out of the bowl?
wow cats are so complicated
I just thought more water = more pee @_@
Many people add water to the canned food to ensure good water intake to try to prevent any urinary issuesOriginally Posted by StephenQ
