"Excessive urination is another problem that we can see in cats. It's usually urination that's confined to the litter box. And, I'll show you how it looks. This is about a normal size urination for a cat. Your average cat will pee that much, maybe slightly more. This is a cat who would have excessive urination. And, as you look underneath with this non-clumping litter this amount of urine spreads even farther than it looks throughout the box. And, there's a pretty deep amount of litter that's saturated with urine here. Things to look out for when you have a cat who is urinating this much, are kidney disease and possibly diabetes.
