My cat's UTI symptoms persist despite antibiotics. Is it cystitis?

Question

My cat is being treated to what my vet thinks might be a uti with amoxicillin since Wednesday night ever 12 dose and my cat is still in the litter frequently with small amounts of pee I don’t see blood and she is also licking afterwards could this be something else or maybe not the right antibiotic? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 14 lbs

She probably has cystitis and not a UTI. It is not impossible that she has a UTI concurrently but I think cystitis is more likely. Antibiotics will not help that. She needs to be on pain meds and you need to de-stress the environment. This article has more in-depth information: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951488 I strongly recommend you put some Feliway diffusers in your house and do some environmental enrichment for her. Usually these two things help too. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=117324 thedrakecenter.com/materials/environmental-enrichment-indoor-cats  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AejmrLa_Cs4
