Hi Erin,

The classic signs are :

Urinating frequently
Frequently licking of the genital area
Break of house training (dogs)
Blood in the urine (reddish tinge to the urine)
Dribbling urine
wimpering or clear discomfort when trying to urinate
Straining (often looks like constipation is the issue)

For an article specifically on cats see : Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease 101
