Today, I paid $70 to learn from the vet that my cat doesn't have a UTI, he's just developed a fetish for peeing on plastic bags. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after seeing my cat struggle to use the litterbox and produce nothing for two days, I caved and took him to the emergency vet, fearing a UTI. It wasn't. $200 and 2 Lyft rides later, he's stoned out of his mind and peeing just fine. FML
Today, I was nervous about taking my cat to the vet for a UTI, because money’s a little tight. Turns out the antibiotics weren’t that expensive, but he wants at least $1,000 for dental surgery she apparently “needs.” FML
Today, I learned why my bathroom has a horrible, seemingly irremovable stench. My cat doesn't squat to pee like a normal cat. She stands up, peeing over the side of the litter tray all over the wall and floor, which are now a permanent yellow tinge. FML
Today, I dropped $1600 at the emergency vet because I thought my 14 year-old cat was constipated or obstructed. He was neither. He just had lots of gas in his intestines. I paid $1600 to find out my cat needed to fart. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for an x-ray. They found three dollar coins in his stomach. The surgery to remove them is $600. FML
Today, I'm sitting at the vet's office while they run expensive tests on my cat. This is to make sure he doesn't have a bowel obstruction from eating the condom that my partner and I used last night. FML
Today, I found out after $200 worth of checks and tests, three rugs being ruined from her peeing and pooping on them, that my cat isn't sick. She just has really bad separation anxiety. FML
Today, during my shift as a vet nurse, I picked up a gorgeous cat for cuddles, only to discover it was covered with pee. And now I am too. I still have 4 hours of my shift. FML
Today, I paid $325 to have the vet tell me that my 19-year-old cat ISN'T dying, she just had anxiety shits because we were gone on vacation for so long. FML
Today, I learned that instead of training my cat, she has been training me. She now refuses to drink anything but running tap water, and yowls loudly early in the morning at my bedroom door to be fed. FML

Take 70 bucks from your pocket BURN IT. Ouch op but at least your cat is healthy and you're a responsible owner. :)

My cat used to do that too before he was neutered. After the surgery he never did it again.

My three year old cat is neutered but he likes licking the water dripping from the sink (even with plenty of fresh water in his bowl) and peeing in my closet. I have to keep all the doors closed if I'm not in the room and he claws at the doors until you let him in the bathroom/closet. Vets say he has a bladder control issue but he uses his littler box just fine and doesn't pee anywhere else.

TIs it an orange cat? The same thing happened to my cat, but we think it was stress. He hasn't peed outside of the litterbox in over a month.

One of my cats does that too and I don't know how to fix it :/ she pees on bags or anything similar like jackets.

Similar thing happened to me. My new kitten had UTI-like symptoms and a swollen incision, so I called the vet who had done her spaying surgery and I asked if the appointment would be no-cost since it was possibly from complications due to a a botched surgery. They said yes. Later, with a smile on her face, the receptionist asked for $200. My mom literally cried. What a scam!
