Is my cat peeing too often? She urinates 6-7 times daily.

Question

My female kitty is 8 months old and neutered. She is fed by high quality dry food and some wet food or healthy treats like chicken breast from time to time. She is healthy, active, responsive, eating and drinking well. However,, I am curious about her peeing frequency. She takes a pee around 6 - 7 times in 24 hours and she's been like this since I have her (since she was 4 months old). Is this a problem I need to take serious or is each kitty an individual and different from each other? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 months and 15 days old | 8 lbs

Each cat is an individual and frequency of urination can vary based on water intake. Typically, we do not become concerned unless our patients begin having accidents outside the box, discolored urine, straining or inability to urinate. With that said, I would encourage you to have her urine checked at her next semiannual veterinary appointment. The earlier we identify problems the better. Again, I do not think you need to worry but be proactive and have her urine checked at Paka's next vet appointment.
