Probably not. If the cat seems to be acting normal and the urine doesn't have a different odor from normal its probably just a matter of its diet.

Yes, as this can be a sign of an infection or other serious medical problem. If the condition has persisted for more than a few days, contact your vet as soon as possible as they will be able to run the proper tests to find out what is wrong with the animal.

Yes, you should be concerned. Foamy urine can be an indication of protein in the urine, which can come from many different causes, like urinary tract infections, bladder stones, urinary tract blockage, kidney disease. I would recommend that you have a urinalysis performed to assess for protein in the urine as well as any indicators of an infection.

If the pee looks different than it normally does then this could be cause for concern. Whenever the appearance of a cat's pee changes a vet visit is in order to make sure nothing is wrong.

It can be a sign of a urinary tract infection, bladder issues or kidney disease. Another thing if the cat's urine does not smell I would not be that concerned. But it is always good to be safe than sorry. Take your cat to a vet!
