Is my cat's frequent peeing, licking, and discolored urine a UTI?

Question

My cat has been going to her litter box several times in the same day, more often than usual, has been cleaning her private parts more often than usual, and I found her in the tub several times in the day and there seemed to be redish/yellowish liquid where she was sitting. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 years and 6 months old | 11 lbs

It could be Ranger is suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. If she appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until tomorrow morning to see a vet. If she appears lethargic, ill or distressed, or if the urine appears very bloody, then she should be seen by a vet ASAP. Feed her wet/canned food, add water to it, and make sure she drinks a lot of water to help flush the bladder. Best of luck.
