My cat dribbles urine for weeks outside the box. Is it serious?

Question

My cat his dribbling urine outside the box and down his legs. This has been going on for maybe a few weeks? He doesn't appear to be in pain. My vet is closed. Can I take him first thing Monday or is this an emergency? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 9 years and 6 months old | 12 lbs

If it has been ongoing for weeks and he is able to pass urine this is unlikely to be a life threatening emergency but should be assessed by your regular vet as soon as possible. Monitor for any loss of appetite as well as his thirst and any signs of discomfort such as straining or vocalising which may help to pinpoint underlying causes. It is likely your vet will want to do a full urinalysis and possibly a scan of the bladder
