Why is my kitten leaking odorless liquid when excited or purring?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Male | neutered | 3 months and 4 days old | 15.5 lbs

Kitten seems to "leak" tiny drops of urine when excited (purring). Not 100% sure that this is urine because it is odorless. Is this normal?

Urine can be almost odorless if it is diluted a great deal, especially at this age. This can also potentially be leakage from his reproductive tract. However if it is indeed urine, leaking of urine is never normal. I would recommend taking him to your vet if this continues to happen. He may have a congenital defect or a weakened urinary sphincter (valve that opens and closes to allow urine to exit the bladder) that is causing this. Hopefully though this is something that he will grow out of, but until then you will have to keep an eye on things and get him examined if needed. Best wishes!
