Should I be concerned if my kitten is using the litter box more than normal? This morning she has gone at least 4 times in an hour.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How old is Olive? I am assuming you mean urinating more? Urinating 4 times in 1 hour is a lot even for a kitten. I would have her seen by your vet with a full bladder. Do not let her use the box for a few hours before the appointment so they can collect a urine sample. She may have UTI or crystals in her urine. I wish Olive the best!
