I'd guess the urine has a value for nitrogen content . If you could persuade your cat to use one of the wood pellet types of cat litter, then I think that'd help your soil more. It's also a bit more pleasant to handle.
I wouldn't put solid waste on the garden (and indeed your post doesn't suggest that you are)
