The biggest cause for brown urine is dehydration OR a urinary tract infection (UTI). If a UTI, the brownish urine is likely because the infection is bad enough that the insides of the bladder or kidneys are bleeding. When very fresh bleeding, blood looks red/reddish. But when bleeding had occurred over time, it's called old blood and looks brownish rather than reddish. Both dehydration and UTI can be very serious in cats. They are small; their bladder and kidneys are small. They can't tolerate a UTI like humans can. If it is a kidney infection, the cat can become so sick it can die. For $35 take it to a vet. They will put a very tiny tube into the cat's urethra (where urine comes out) and get a urine sample. The vet will look at the urine under a microscope to see if it has bacteria in it (urine should not have any bacteria). The vet will also take kitty's temperature, check the eyes and mouth for dry mucous membranes, and possibly give the cat a shot of Normal Saline (NS) and a shot of antibiotics. All of this will cost $100-150. BUT if you wait and don't take this cat to a vet NOW, the cat will get sicker and then it could cost up to $300 to $400 to treat. Or without treatment, kitty could die.
Make sure kitty has fresh water. Offer kitty some canned food if you have it. And call the vet so you can take the cat in for evaluation and treatment.

It isn't. Cat urine is not fluorescent, and it does not glow in the dark. I'm not sure where this myth comes from. Cat urine is yellow, like human urine.
