I think the cat has a uti and the vet isn’t open until Weds!

I don’t think it warrants an out of hours Xmas visit as she seems ok in herself but just caught her peeing up against the front door which is unusual. I shouted at her and she ran in the front room and peed a small amount on the hearth. I put her in the litter tray and she got out and peeed a small amount in the middle of the dining room. She doesn’t normal do this! Though she is a bit litter box averse when it comes to poos and normally just poos in the middle of the dining room!

@Veterinari

I know you've been seen now but honestly this sounds behavioural rather than medical. An anxious cat peeing against a doorway is classic anxiety behaviour. Have you had visitors recently? Different people in and out? Christmas decorations around the door and hearth? Or any new cats around the garden?

Cats often pee against objects because a new scent has been introduced there and they're trying to normalise it.

No visitors lately apart from dd’s boyfriend but he’s been here most days for months now. Literally nobody else in the house. But she is unbelievably nervous. Think I’ll try some feliway again and seriously ask the vet about anxiety meds…..years ago I had a cat on Prozac and I think this one needs some.

I guess it could be the Xmas decorations but they’ve been up 3 weeks and this is the first time she’s done it.

Cystease alleviates anxiety I'd definitely try it
