NO!! Not necessarily. A cat with a UTI is telling you the only way it knows how that something is wrong. Hence urinating in the place it thinks you are most likely to notice.

You can easily spot other behaviors of UTI if you are observant like in and out of the litter box several times in a short space of time. Just make an appointment and get the cat to the vet. Crystals in the urine can be fatal if not treated promptly.

You can also avoid in the future by feeding foods with low ash content in addition to limiting fish flavored foods to occasional treats.
