There are 3-4 stray cats around my house that spend most of the day here. My own cat goes out to the yard to pee and poop as well. But there are quite a few more cats who walk around especially late at night. AND yesterday a small kitten showed up out of nowhere. One neighbor took him in but apparently brought down back when he mistook a stray as his mother and the kitten was found dead this morning. :-(
So late at night I saw a small puddle of urine right near my porch on the surface. I'm sure it was urine as the other strays smelled, got grossed out, tried to hide it. I thought maybe the kitten did it but this morning I saw a second small puddle close to the first one. And to my surprise the first puddle was still there (I thought it would be evaporated by now. It's been at least 10 hours.) I don't trust my knowledge about normal urine color but it looked darker yellow to me, based on what I saw on Google Images "abnormal acidity." Besides I don't understand why they would pee on the surface when there is soil everywhere they normaly use.
But I don't see any lethargy, lack of appetite, or sign of pain. Is there anything else I should look for? I guess it's possible they maybe got stressed out because of the kitten, or one of the visitor strays from outside left a scent maybe(?), maybe the mother of the kitten?... but I'm worried if it's a sign of kidney/bladder health issues.
