Novice poop scoopers often ask: How many times does a cat urinate a day? The answer to this question largely depends on factors such as the cat’s water intake, body size, age, gender and health status.

Generally speaking, it is normal for adult cats to urinate 2-5 times a day. However, for some cats, it is normal to urinate only once or more than 5 times a day. These should be considered based on the cat’s individual differences and physiological conditions.

The number of times a cat urinates is closely related to the amount of water it drinks. If your cat drinks less water, it will urinate less frequently each day. On the contrary, if the cat drinks more water, the number of times it urinates every day will also increase accordingly. Generally speaking, cats should drink between 60-100ml/kg of body weight every day. ​​​​​​

Your cat’s size and age can also affect the number of times it urinates per day. For example, a larger cat may need to urinate more, so he may urinate more often per day. In addition, age can also affect the frequency of urination in cats. Younger cats usually urinate more often per day, while older cats may urinate less frequently.

The gender of the cat will also affect the frequency of urination. Female cats generally urinate more frequently than male cats. An unneutered female cat may urinate more frequently if she is in heat.

Finally, the cat’s health is also an important factor that affects the number of times it urinates every day. If your cat urinates significantly less or more often, or if there are abnormalities when urinating (such as urine color, taste, frequency, etc.), then this may indicate that the cat has a health problem. At this time, you need to consult a veterinarian in time for examination and diagnosis and treatment.

In addition to the above factors, the use of cat litter may also affect the cat’s urinary behavior. If the litter box is not clean enough or does not meet your cat's tastes and preferences, it may affect your cat's urination. Once you find that the frequency of urination is obviously abnormal, the poop scoopers have to check if there is something wrong with the cat litter!
