My cat pees outside the box, drinks a lot, and acts strange.

Drinking a lot of water can be a sign of kidney problems or diabetes. Depending on your cat's age not using the litter box may be a sign of arthritis (most cats get arthritis by the age of 7) and squatting may hurt, so he would hold his bowel movement until he can't hold it any more and then does not make it into the litter box in time. I suggest you take him to your vet for a blood test and exam and assessment for pain medicine.

Poor kitty! In a 13 year old cat, I strongly suspect that she has a medical problem causing these issues. Some common possible causes would include hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam as soon as you are able to - he/she can do blood work and a urinalysis to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate medication to treat it.

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Dixie. We could have numerous possible causes for her symptoms, some easily treatable and others more complicated. We could see these signs with a urinary tract infection, cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), bladder stones, tumors of the bladder, and kidney disease. We can also see increased thirst and urination with things like Diabetes and Hyperthyroidism. I would recommend getting Dixie in to the vet as soon as possible for an exam and blood and urine testing to help determine the cause of her issue and start treatment.

Urinating outside the litter box is a very common behavior problem reported to vets. Inappropriate urination can be a way of your cat letting you know they aren't well. It can signal a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism, among other things. The first step to treating this is to take your cat to the vet for a health check. Your vet will do a urinalysis to see if there is blood or bacteria in the urine (signaling a UTI), or glucose in the urine which can suggest diabetes. Your vet will also do routine lab tests such as a biochemistry to check organ functions. Once a medical problem is ruled out as the cause of the inappropriate urination, your vet can discuss behavioral methods with you to help stop this behavior.

Poor Bob! He could be walking wobbly and sideways due to pain. It could be he's suffering from arthritis, and it hurts for him to walk. While it's good that he's drinking and eating, it is concerning you haven't seen him urinate. That's could be another cause of him suddenly walking funny, there could be a potential he has a blocked bladder. That would explain why you haven't seen him urinate. I would watch him very closely. If the wobbliness continues or gets worse, you see him try to urinate but nothing comes out, he strains to urinate, he cries in pain when trying to urinate, he starts vomiting, or he becomes very lethargic, you will need to take him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!

Poor Baba. Without more information it's not possible to determine what has caused Baba’s condition. However, it is essential that Baba see a veterinarian immediately. He sounds like he is seriously ill, and there are various reasons that may have lead to his sickness. Diseases such as kidney disease, hyperthyroidism or diabetes are possibilities, as well as potential bacterial, parasitic or viral infection, trauma or toxin ingestion, or a neurological or muscular disorder. Please take Baba to a veterinarian immediately, as he sounds very unwell. They will let you know about their recommendations for diagnostics and treatment based on Baba's condition, and can guide you through the process if you elect to euthanize.

It is fairly rare, but ask your veterinarian if your kitty may be suffering from Cushing's disease or liver disease. Also sometimes cats can still be hyperthyroid, even though the thyroid parameters are within normal limits (this is called euthyroid sick). He could also have a tumor. In any case, this needs to be investigated further.
