1 My cat is displaying the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. She is squatting to urinate and only a little bit comes out. How do I treat it?
2 My 10 year old fixed female cat is suddenly urinating in the kitchen, but just a couple drops at a time.
3 My 6 year old female spayed cat had an episode this morning of crying with repeated trips to the litter box, in which she scratched at the litter but didn't produce anything. She is quiet now but I am concerned.
1 My cat is displaying the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. She is squatting to urinate and only a little bit comes out. How do I treat it? Increased urinary frequency and passing small amounts of urine are symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Not only are they uncomfortable, they are not something to be ignored. Your cat should be examined by your veterinarian and may even need x-rays as well as examination of a urine sample. Once diagnostics are done appropriate treatment can be prescribed. back to top
2 My 10 year old fixed female cat is suddenly urinating in the kitchen, but just a couple drops at a time. When a cat urinates in an unusual location and in small amounts it can mean a urinary tract infection, bladder stones or even a tumor. When a cat has a urinary tract infection it is often irritating and a primary symptom is frequent attempts to urinate. Each of these attempts tends to yield only small amounts of urine. This is a problem that will not go away on its own and needs veterinary attention as soon as possible. It is likely that your veterinarian will check a urine sample, perhaps take radiographs and prescribe antibiotics. back to top

She is quiet now but I am concerned. Straining to urinate without producing any urine can be a sign of something serious. Your cat could be suffering from a urinary tract infection or blockage. A veterinary visit is essential to diagnose and treat the problem without delay. back to top
