My 8 year-old female cat's urine seems thick and gooey in her litter box, and she sometimes pees and/or poops just outside the litter box. Anything to be concerned about?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Ginger! The urine shouldn't be thick or gooey. I would have her seen by your Vet and bring a urine sample. I would want to check to see if she has a urinary tract infection, crystals in her urine or a bladder stone. I wouldn't ignore the urine. I wish Ginger the best!
