My cat peed in sink, frequent litter box visits. Is it a UTI?

Question

Hello, 2 days ago my cat was urinating in the sinks around my house but only producing small amounts of urine. I cleaned his litter box out and that made him stop using the sink, but continued to make frequent trips to his litter box all day. He seemed back to normal yesterday and this morning- do I need to be concerned about a UTI? Pet's info: Cat | European Shorthair | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

That can definitely be a sign of a urinary issue such as an infection or even a potential urinary blockage which can happen in neutered male cats. Stress and a dirty litter box may also cause a change in urinary behavior if your cat is not able to use their regular box. I would continue to monitor Franklin and keep his box scooped once a day to see how he does. If the frequent urination returns, he is straining to go, seems in pain or distress or begins to vocalize a lot, these are all signs of something more serious that should be checked out right away.
