Answer
HI Joan,

Cats do not generally urinate outside the litter box unless there is a medical problem such as a urinary tract infection or FUS (inflammation of the urinary tract). Please read the following information about urinary problems and then take your cat to the vet for a urinalysis:

Good luck!
