This may sometimes be caused by either a urinary tract infection or occasionally by a kidney infection (pyelonephritis). A urine culture and sensitivity test should show the presence of a urinary tract infection, but will not detect kidney infections. One of our cats, Harpsie, is prone to kidney infections, partly because he has PKD (in PKD cats, the bacteria can enter the cysts in the kidneys and cause a deep-rooted infection). We always know when Harpsie has a kidney infection because he becomes incontinent, but the incontinence goes away when the infection is treated for 4-6 weeks with antibiotics.
