I just know that she is getting very old and could be anywhere from 15 to 20, just a guess as she won't tell. Is this what elderly cats do occasionally? Her appetite is good, she grooms and is very mobile and spoiled quite properly. Should I just keep an eye on her and take her to the vet if it happens again. What would you do? Thank you!樂
If a kitty pees outside the litterbox, she's trying to tell you that something is wrong.
One possibility is that, as a senior kitty, she has arthritis, and it's painful to climb into the litter box.
But she also could have other things going on (besides a urinary tract infection) that could make her do that, like kidney disease or diabetes.
I know it's an inconvenience, for you and your cat, but I would take her to the vet.
