Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think that if he urinates 2 more times or more, that means that he is urinating more frequently which would warrant an evaluation by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Urinary signs like this can be observed with something like a urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, among other possibilities. If he is still able to pass urine and does not seem in discomfort, you could probably wait until Monday. If he is unable to urinate or appears to be in discomfort, he should be evaluated by an emergency veterinarian before Monday. Good luck and have a great day! I hope he is just fine.

I would recommend bringing Pia to a veterinarian immediately if you feel he has not urinated at all. This can be a life threatening situation if he is really not urinating. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if he is not urinating or if he is urinating and maybe you are not finding it throughout the house.

It was likely two urines you scooped. I would not be overly worried at this stage. Just keep an eye on him. Be sure he has plenty of water available at all times. You may want to get him a drinking fountain. Most cats prefer to drink from running water so having a fountain may encourage him to drink more and therefore he will urinate more regularly.
