Why is my cat peeing everywhere with crystals after UTI shot?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed

Bea has been peeing everywhere- brought her in for a shot for a UTI but she’s still peeing on stuff and it looks like she has crystals(the things she’s peeing on, clothes, look shiney). Shes on a very good diet- Instinct dry food and wet food but the vet said it may be the food (she’s been eating this for her whole life). Any suggestions? No change to litter box or anything else. This has been going on for weeks with no improvement.

Her inappropriate urinating could be caused by an infection, feline lower urinary tract disease, or just be a behavioral issue. If the antibiotic did not help then you should call your vet and give him/her an update. Your vet may want to recheck her and check a urinalysis to see if see if she has an infection and/or crystals in her urine. Your vet could also culture her urine, if needed. If there is no evidence of an infection then it could just be behavioral and your could try Feliway spray/diffuser and Solliquin chews. Your vet could also prescribe an anti-anxiety medication and see if that helps. https://www.feliway.com/us/ http://www.solliquin.com/
