Poor Coco! I'm sorry to hear that she's having urinary problems. If she does have a UTI, she will need prescription antibiotics from your vet to treat it - so I would recommend taking her in for an exam as soon as you are able to. There are also other problems that can mimic the symptoms of a bladder infection in cats, such as bladder stones or FIC (feline idiopathic cystitis), so your veterinarian will probably need to do a urinalysis to diagnose the problem prior to starting meds.
