My cat pees outside litter box with urine crystals. Can it wait?

Question

My cat has been peeing in odd places and has crystals in his urine. Should I find an emergency clinic or will he be okay to wait until Monday? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

If he is urinating a normal amount just in abnormal locations he can wait till monday. At anytime if he struggling to urinate, straining or acting painful I would recommend taking him to an emergency clinic. Crystals in the urine can plug the urethra and when cats cannot pee it is a medical emergency. I would recommend looking for UTI and placing houdini on a prescription food to dissolve the crystals and prevent them from coming back.
