1. Inappropriate Elimination Behaviour
A cat that is urinating inappropriately may have any number of conditions associated with the behavior,
including lower urinary tract disease, kidney disease, urinary tract infection and diabetes mellitus. It can
also be a sign of arthritis, which makes it difficult for the cat to get into the litter box.
Blockage of the urinary tract signals a veterinary emergency. A blockage is treatable, but timing is
critical. Once identified, the cat must receive veterinary care as soon as possible. Otherwise, fatal
complications could develop. Signs include straining in the litter box with little or no results, crying when
urinating and frequent attempts to urinate.
