Is it normal for my cat to poop twice a day if she seems healthy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9.3 lbs

My cat usually poops in her litter once every 24-36 hours. A couple times this week she did one or two pieces early morning, then more in the evening. Colour and consistency are all good. Is it normal for a cat to poop 2 times a day??

Yes, some cats may poop twice a day - their schedules can vary a bit, just like people :) As long as her stools are normal in color and consistency and she is acting normal, I wouldn't be concerned about this at all.
