Hi there, Yes, typically when cats begin to urinate in places they shouldn't it's because they have an infection. It can also be due to inflammation in their bladder cause by a syndrome called FLUTD, but infection is much more likely. I would recommend taking Squeakie to you vet today and have them check for a urinary tract infection. These are easy to treat and your vet can get her feeling better. I hope that helps and thanks for using Pet Coach!
