My cat has FIC and pees blood outside the litter box. What helps?

Question

my 2 year old female cat has been peeing outside the litter box in small amounts, which sometimes there is blood . I've took her to the vet, they said UTI first, which I got her royal caine urinal food that never helped any. I took her back and now they're saying stress which she only has one sign (peeing outside box) and gave me valium to give for her. I do not like seeing her all wonky and having difficulties walking. they have finally gave me a conclusion of feline idiopathic cystitis. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 8 lbs

This is a frustrating disease to deal with. You can try to add Feliway diffusers or plugs in to help with stress in her environment and add more litter boxes. Some times you have to change the type of litter or litter box because some have a preference. They always make fountains to recycle their water to encourage more water intake. There are several different types of urinary food to help with infections, sediment and crystals, and stress that may help. I would monitor her a urinalysis frequently to make sure there is no infection or sudden changes.
