Cats have naturally more concentrated urine than dogs due to their desert-adapted metabolism. A Urine concentration test (USG) above 1.020 indicates good kidney concentrating ability.
Cats should normally produce concentrated urine. A Urine concentration test (USG) below 1.020 is suspicious, and below 1.012 is consistent with reduced kidney function when paired with elevated creatinine. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is very common in cats over 10 years old.
Your vet will check creatinine, An early kidney marker (SDMA), and BUN to stage any kidney disease. Early CKD can be managed with a kidney-friendly diet, phosphate binders, and ensuring adequate hydration.

No action needed. Your cat's kidneys are functioning well.
Feline USG: 1.035A high Urine concentration test (USG) in cats is typically due to concentrated urine from water conservation. This is common if the cat eats dry food exclusively or doesn't drink enough.
Encourage water intake with a water fountain or wet food. If Urine concentration test (USG) is very high and paired with glucose in the urine, diabetes mellitus should be ruled out.
