My cat hasn't peed in 24 hours but seems fine. Should I be worried?

Question

P urinated yesterday at 8am and when I cleaned his box last night I couldn’t tell if it was one lump of urine or two. He didn’t go overnight, however he did have a normal bm this morning. He isn’t acting upset, isn’t unsuccessfully using the box and is eating and drinking normally. He also has no objection to being picked up and all in all seems normal. Could he have a problem making him unable to urinate for over 24 hrs but not show any other symptoms? Or is it likely it was 2 urines I scooped.

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.
