What can cause increased drinking and urinating

[Kathie]

My civvie, Taz, has recently been drinking and peeing more than usual. Fearing the worst, I tested her blood sugar which was 82. Anyone know what else could cause this? Thanks

CRF---Chronic Renal Failure (Kidney failure)

Hyperthyroid.

Take kitty to vet for diagnosis.

Also- a UTI can cause these symptoms. The cat is peeing more because of bladder irritation, drinks more because of thirst caused by peeing.

How long has your kitty had these symptoms?

If it persists, do see a vet.

She's had them for a couple of months. She's also eating more.

Eating more, peeing and drinking more, if not FD, I'd go with what Karen mentioned, Hyperthyroidism.
