What should I do if my cat is urinating out of the box or spraying?

Cats can get urinary tract infections just like people, however they cannot tell us, so they may spray or urinate in inappropriate locations. If your cat exhibits this behavior, you should have it examined by a veterinarian, and a urinalysis should be performed to determine if a medical problem exists. If the problem is deemed behavioral, the veterinarian will discuss behavior modification and possible drug options.
