Why is my cat peeing frequently with pink urine after stone surgery?

Question

A few months ago the vet found large bladder stones. Two weeks later he had surgery to remove them and they were gone. Vet thinks they were passed. He had been fine since then (June) but now seems to be going to the litterbox more frequently. It doesn't appear he is in pain. Saw a small amount of urine with a pinkish color on couch tonight. Do you think it's stones again or maybe a bladder or kidney infection? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

It is soon for stones to recur but not impossible. Male cats can have cystitis ( urinary infection) from stress or bacteria. As long as he is able to urinate and no vocalizing or straining then it is not an emergency and can wait to be checked tomorrow. If you notice those signs then he needs to be seen immediately. Since this is a recurring problem he may need a diet change or long term medicine to help keep this from happening
