My cat peed on the bed after spay. Is it a UTI or behavior issue?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

Does my cat have a UTI?! My cat out of no where started to pee on my bed(She never does this). It’s been happening now for about 2 weeks off and on. I’m not sure if it’s a behavioral issue or could it be a bladder infection she was just spayed dec. 20th 2017. Shes still is eating and drinking water , maybe wanting more recently. She’s still playing like normal.

Yes, a UTI is always a possibility when a cat suddenly displays inappropriate urination. I would have Norah seen by a vet tomorrow for a physical exam, blood test, and urinalysis. These tests will help diagnose if she does have a UTI, and should she have one, the vet can prescribe medication to treat her. Tonight, feed her canned food and add water to it to help flush the bladder. Good luck, I hope this helps!
