Yes. Cats are very good at hiding pain.
Could be UTI, stones, etc and if it's caught early, it is much easier
and less painful to treat.
The first sign of kidney failure in our dear, departed Tom was gradual
incontinence.
Incontinence can also be caused by an enlarged prostrate (or in females,
something pressing on the bladder or blocking the urethra, such as a
tumor) and several other illnesses and diseases, some easily treatable,
some not.
