Healthy cats typically use the litter box between 3 and 5 times per day, which includes both urination and defecation
. On average, adult cats urinate about 2 to 4 times daily, though this can vary depending on factors like age, diet, and health
. If a cat uses the litter box less than 2 or 3 times a day, it could indicate constipation or other health issues, while more frequent use in young cats is normal
. Maintaining a clean litter box is essential to encourage regular use; scooping at least once a day (or twice if multiple cats share a box) is recommended
. In summary, expect a healthy cat to visit the litter box roughly 3 to 5 times daily, with variations based on individual and health factors.
