Male cats are more likely to find urinary incontinence than female cats because of urethral stricture. Cats with stones, obesity, stress and urethritis can all cause urinary incontinence. The main symptoms are as follows:
1, frequent urination: cats go to the litter box more times every day, and it takes a long time to go to the toilet each time.
2, often licking genitals: dysuria is usually accompanied by pain of urethral orifice infection, so cats will often lick genitals to relieve pain.
3, urinating anywhere: long-term urinary incontinence will cause cats to have a full bladder but can't urinate spontaneously, so cats will involuntarily urinate anywhere when they have a sense of urine.

In addition, cats with urinary incontinence often scream with pain when urinating, and even have symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
