Not Enough or Too Much Urine

• A cat that does not urinate enough may simply be dehydrated. Provide ample amounts of water and encourage the cat to drink. Other reasons for not urinating include renal (kidney) failure, urinary blockages and urinary tract infections.
  A cat that excessively urinates may be doing so because of psychological reasons. Or a medication or a pathological disease may be the culprit.
  
  

Diagnosing Problems

• If you are concerned about your feline's urine output, make an appointment with your veterinarian. A urine sample will be taken, and its color, clarity, smell and chemical composition will be all be used to look for problems. Blood or pus in urine might indicate a urinary tract infection, foreign organisms and bacteria might indicate another type of infection, and the presence of glucose, excessive proteins and electrolytes usually signify diabetes or kidney disease.
  
  

Treatment is Important

• Cat urine health is very important, as it is tied in directly with the urethra, bladder, ureters, kidney and sphincter muscles. If you suspect something is wrong with your cat based on its urinating habits, make an appointment with a veterinarian right away, so that a diagnosis can be made. Treatment will be recommended and should be implemented immediately.
