Why Is My Cat Urinating Outside Of The Litter Box?

There are so many reasons this could be happening. If your cat is litter box trained and is starting to urinate outside of the box, try not to wait to have him/her seen. Some potential causes are: FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease) infection, cystitis, kidney disease and behavioral problems. If you have a male cat that is straining to urinate or is in and out of the litter box, know this is considered an emergency and the cat should be seen asap. Urinary blockages in male cats can be life threatening.
