Have you decided on a diet for your cat. There lies the answer to your cat having a good life from here on.
I had two cats, both males, who lived their lived bothered by urinary issues and one who died from acute kidney failure. We never knew what caused his death.
It is scary to watch how sick a cat with this problem can get in such a short time. Both of my cats were immediately put on prescription dry food from the vet and that is all they every ate. No snacks, no cheating.
Both cats did well and never had any more issues, They were fed two meals a day in separate boxes so they only got the intended amount of food. One cat had a tendency to be overweight and according to my vet, that can make the urinary issue worse. Another thing I did is switched their water to only filtered or purified distilled water, always. It is amazing how well they were when I finally did what the vet said, gave them the RX food and started the purified water.
