Cats usually contracts urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food, as cats have evolved to derive water from its prey/food, so will not often drink from a bowl like a dog readily does. Pet cats, like their wild ancestors and cousins, are still designed to get their moisture from their food. Cats naturally have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own unless severely dehydrated. Aside from food, some cats can contract a UTI from being overly stressed.

Is Aglaonema plant harmful to cats?
According to the NCSU website they are poisonous and cause severe pain in the mouth when eaten. I checked because our kitten likes to chew on the leaves. It doesn't seem to cause her pain but she does have constant urinary tract infections. When I Googled it the webpage below says the "Toxic Principle" is calcium oxalate crystals, the same crystals that cause urinary infections in cats. Coincidence? Let's just say I moved the plant :-Phttp:/www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/poison/Aglaomo.htm
