My cat got a urine test but came back clean for uti or baterica but she is still either not peeing or if she does it's like a drop or it's just blood. What could be wrong with my cat

Sounds like Sushi may have interstitial cystitis (inflammation of the bladder lining). That being said, I cannot diagnose over the internet. Did you vet check the urine for crystals? Was an x-ray done to check for bladder stones? Here is a link to an article about cystitis in cats. It may help you and answer come of your questions. I suggest you talk to your vet about the other tests I mentioned above and about how to manage cystitis if other causes of her symptoms have been ruled out. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&C=&A=612&SourceID=
