My outdoor cat suddenly pees inside. Is it anxiety or a health issue?

Question

I need some advice please, my female cat has started going to the toilet indoors all of a sudden she is an outdoor cat and usually goes to the toilet outdoors but seems to be too scared to do so. She is eating normally we have recently removed a book shelf from our dining room which was her territory and where the book shelf was this is where she has started going to the toilet. I wonder whether she has anxiety about the book shelf not being there anymore. Any advice? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Have Sophie examined by your veterinarian. A sterile urine sample should be collected and submitted for urinalysis and culture. Blood work can assess major organ function, especially kidney function. Provide an additional litter box where she is urinating. Use a litterbox attractant to entice her back into the boxes. A pheromone product such as Feliway spray or plug in diffuser may decrease any anxiety.
