Have you talked to your vet about anxiety meds, like Prozac? We have a kitty with a very similar problem. He’s nine and has had UTI problems intermittently all his life. At this point, even when he’s UTI-free, we have issues with his peeing inappropriately, usually brought on by stress, like when we brought new cats into the house or when we’re out of town and he’s being cared for by a sitter.
He’s just a high energy and high anxiety kind of cat. We tried all kinds of things, too, and nothing worked, so we finally put him on Prozac. We use the transdermal gel kind because I’m no good at pilling cats, either, and he wouldn’t eat the flavored Prozac ‘treats.’
It’s made a world of difference for him, and for our lives. That isn’t to say he doesn’t still ‘stress pee’ sometimes, usually if we’re out of town or something. But it’s taken care of 90% of the problem.
