Welcome to Pet Talk!

My Speckles is 17 1/2 and she's had numerous UTI's. Usually the first sign is straining to pee along with peeing in unusual places. Maybe a vet visit is in order. Also it would be helpful to take in a urine sample. It's really hard to get but what I did was to confine Speckles in the bathroom for 24 hours with an empty and clean litterbox. The small sample she left for me was enough for the diagnosis.

Good luck and please keep us posted.
