Hello, My male cat is about 6 years old and his pee can be bigger than a fist size and I read online that can be an issue. His behavior and appetite is normal. No signs of uti. He is on a mix diet of lamb ziwi peak kibbles and wet food, I give him three feedings a day together with water mixed in. I rarely see him drink water from water bowl but I do make his three meal very soupy. But I want to make sure his pee being big in clumps is okay and probably due to me giving him alot of water in food

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lio. I become worried about urination when the patient has an increased thirst. Other worrisome signs are weight loss, vomiting and changes in activity level. Urinary tract infections are rare in male cats, but will typically result in smaller than normal urine spots in the box. Straining or crying in the box are other reasons to see a veterinarian. If he cannot produce any urine at all, that would be a true emergency. It sounds like he does not have any of these symptoms. I suspect that he is getting the majority of his fluid from his diet. I hope this information helps!
