What are the symptoms of lower urinary tract problems?
According to the article, Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease, posted on the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Web site, cats will strain and make frequent and prolonged attempts to urinate, but usually the amount of urine passed during each attempt is quite small. Affected cats tend to lick their genital area excessively, and sometimes they will urinate outside the litter box, often preferring cool, smooth surfaces like a tile floor or a bathtub. Occasionally, there will be blood present in the urine.
