I have seen a lot on cat UTIs and crystals, but what exactly are crystals? Someone told me the cat can get them from eating dry food.
It sounds like both of those pieces of furniture may have had a covering that was an artificial latex containing substance? We've had many problems with cats peeing on anything with a plastic/elastic type of finish. Plastic bags esp seem to be a fascination to them. I have been told by vets and other cat owners it is a common problem. You can try to train them to not do it with avoidance methods and products but in the end it's usually easier to do what you had and remove the offending item from the house.Mine both eat hairball formula, too, even though only 1 is a shedder. I was having a problem with the younger one peeing inappropriately ( on an inflatable chair and a bean bag chair), so I thought maybe UTI. He hasn't done anything since I got rid of both of the chairs, though. Maybe he just didn't like unconventional furniture.
