my cat seems to be urinating a lot. is there any reason for me to be worried? or am i being Neurotic!!?

Answer 1

Frequent urination can be symptomatic of a problem such as diabetes or urinary tract infection, both of which can be lethal if not treated immediately.

Is the urine spot smaller than a quarter? Is your cat licking him/herself? Is your cat avoiding drinking? If yes to those questions, get your cat to a vet, because it sounds like a urinary tract infection.

If your cat is drinking a lot and seems woozy, get the cat to a vet, as that might be a symptom of diabetes.

Cat's can't tell us what's bothering them or what is wrong; for that reason, get your cat checked out by a vet ASAP. It could be a urinary tract infection, kidney infection/disease, or diabetes. Whenever cats start having weird issues with urinating, it often is a urinary tract infection.

Please, don't delay a vet visit! Cats can also develop crystals/sludge in their bladder, especially if the urine pH is altered. These crystals can cause obstruction in the kidneys, ureters, or urethra. I lost one of my cats because of an obstructed ureter.

Cats are "creatures of habit" and any change in behavior or daily pattern is worth investigating. One of my cats decided to pee right in front of me one day; I was thinking "gee, he's never done anything like that before" and debated if I should go to the animal emergency center (this was later at night, and my vet was closed). I thought I was being neurotic also; but, I went and found out he had a urinary tract infection, "sludge" in his bladder (not crystals), and inflamed kidneys. Poor baby! I struggled for MONTHS getting this under control - he developed an aversion to using the litterbox (he associated peeing in the box with pain). He's now on special food and has had no problems since. So, from my experience, I'd get your cat checked out as soon as possible.

If the cat is male, he could have crystals in the urine. Is he straining/trying to go & can't? Does he holler when urinating?
If this is the case, get him to the vet - NOW!!!
They will be able to tell be squeezing on his bladder.
In our case, our male cat had these signs & we adopted him from another family. Nothing was mentioned to us by the previous owners.
Turns out, it was the food he was eating and now his food is only bought at the vets. It's more expensive (kibble & canned).
On occasion he will have a treat of other food but not too often for the fear of the crystals returning.

Answer 6

YES, there may be. Is the cat ACTUALLY urinating a lot, or is it going to the litter box and trying to? It may be they feel the urge, but it hurts and they stop, or there's a problem with the flow. Cats are prone to urinary tract disease just like people. Particularly older cats. There is both dry and moist food for urinary health (Purina One) in cats. Vets have expensive food for the same purpose. You should take your cat to the vet sooner rather than later.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 8

I would take the cat to the veterarian ASAP for testing.
You are not over-reacting. If the cat is drinking a lot of water and peeing a lot, there maybe an infection or something pressing on the cats bladder.

Answer 9

It could be pregnant if it is a female cat. Otherwise, it could be really hot and drinking lots of water and that could be why. One things for sure though and thats that ur not Neurotic!!
