My cat pees outside the litter box, but acts normal. Is it a UTI?

Question

Silvie has been peeing outside of the litter box. She has peed in the fireplace a few times and on a bed. Her litter box is cleaned daily and has plenty of litter. We are using the same litter we used since she was a kitten. She is acting normal eating and drinking is normal. She is also playing a lot so we don't think it is a medical issue. Her litter box is also in a quite and private place. Any reason she is behaving this way? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 10.5 lbs

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

Although she may be acting normal, urinary tract infections or crystals in the urine are very common causes for this type of behavior. Since Silvie cannot talk and tell you what's wrong, she needs to have her urine checked for any abnormalities by her veterinarian. Most pets with bladder infections will act completely normal. I hope this helps and best of luck.
