The frequency of a cat's urination is affected by many factors, including diet, age, and health. The average healthy adult cat will urinate between 2-4 times per day. However, some cats may urinate as often as 8 times per day or as little as once every two days. If your cat is peeing more or less frequently than usual, it could be a sign of an underlying health issue and you should consult your veterinarian.
Diet can also affect urinary frequency in cats. For example, cats who eat dry food typically urinate more than those who eat wet food. This is because dry food contains less water and therefore doesn't hydrate the cat as much as wet food does. As a result, the cat's body tries to make up for the lack of hydration by producing more urine. Age can also play a role in how often a cat pees. Older cats tend to urinate less frequently than younger cats because their kidneys are not able to concentrate urine as well as they used to. Additionally, health conditions such as kidney disease or diabetes can cause increased urination (polyuria) or decreased urination (oliguria).
In general, you should take your cue from your cat when it comes to how often they need to pee. If they are peeing more or less frequently than usual, it's best to have them checked out by a vet just in case there is an underlying health issue causing the change in urinary habits.
