My cat has some kind of bladder problem and I need to collect a urine sample from it. The vet gave me this set of non-clumping kitty litter that should should let me use a syringe to collect a urine sample.

Also, the urine sample should not be too old. I have to bring it to the vet for analysis on the same day that it is collected. So I can not do it over night.

However, my cat does not pee on command. Obviously. So how should I go about that? Does anyone have experience with that?

    What we did was in the morning we cleaned all the litter out of the box and replaced it with the stuff in the bag. Then every 30 min or so we checked if he had peed. Once he did pee we collected it and dropped it off then filled the box back up with litter.
