My indoor cat smells like urine around her backside. Is it a UTI?

Question

Hi, my 2yo indoor-only cat smells mildly of urine around her backside. I have not noticed any other symptoms and she is behaving completely normally. I was worried about a potential UTI and was hoping for some more information on that. Thank you! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 lbs

Frankie could be suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis, which is more common in cats than a UTI. It’s always worth a check with the vet with any health concerns, and I would take her it one in the next few days. I hope this helps!
