$38 : my 12 year old female siamese cats urine has a very strong

Hello.

I am sorry to hear about this concern.

Generally, at this age, I get more concerned about urine with odor that is more dilute. The more diluted urine can be a strong indicator for problems like kidney disease or thyroid problems.

However, what you are describing can still be a strong indication of dehydration or a urinary tract infection. Very common for a female.

So, especially if the urine is distinctly different than it usually is to you, I consider this situation well worth a veterinary examination.

I would request a urine test, and a basic blood profile would be very nice for checking kidney values, liver enzymes, and the thyroid.

So, Yes, I do believe it is worth concern. It doesn't necessarily have to indicate a serious problem, but should be investigated.
