Why is my kitten leaking urine even though he uses the litter box?

Question

I have a recently adopted from an animal shelter, 4 month old neutered; male Manx kitten with a small "urinary incontinence" problem. Though he uses the litter box correctly, he intermittently drops small drops of urine. Other than that, there is nothing else wrong with him. - What could be causing the problem, and what is the "solution.". Pet's info: Cat | Manx | Male | neutered | 4 months and 5 days old | 1.5 lbs

Depending on how short his tail his, he may have some nerve damage to affects his bladder control. It may be something easy such as a bladder infection. Your vet can do a urine sample to see if there is an infection and exam his reflexes and tail to determine if that is the problem.
