I posted a month or 2 back about my 14 yr old kitty refusing the litterbox after getting a VERY rambuncious kitten (who HAS calmed down a bit, doesnt torture her 1/2 as much, we used a water spray bottle on him every time he even THOUGHT about pouncing on her!). I had had her check up a few weeks b4 posting, & she was fine (excpet for her Hyerthyroid which we are treating as well). But after all this peeing on the floor next to the litter box & in my kitchen, we had her checked out again. She had no urine in her bladder for them to check, but i had just this week started seeing blood tinged droplets of urine around, so they did a WBC count this pSt Sat & it was sky high. So the assunption was a urinary tract infx. They gave her a shot & some antibiotics for home. But that DAY we changed (after the clumping litter STANK to high Heaven, even after one DAY w/ 2 cats ... PU!) to this crystal stuff. Its weird. But i am AMAZED at how it smells ok. & w/ 2 cats, it lastes 2-3 WEEKS! You scoop out the bad stuff & rake it daily ... & its working. She pees in it! Caught her yesterday! :) & gave her a Pounce treat. ;)
So now also the infx is clearing, she should be feeling a bit better. Poor baby, its been a rough few months for her!
Thanks for all yoru advice! R~

That's great news.
