One of my cats, Gossamer, was getting a UTI once a year like clockwork.
Our
new vet suggested that it might just be stress as it always occurred
shortly
after the holidays which are a very busy time for us (a 6 week period of
celebrating birthday, birthday, christmas, new year's, birthday) and we're
home much less than usual and at times were just coming home long enough
to
sleep and go off to somewhere else. Last year we made an effort to not
rush
about, spent more cuddle time with the furkids and no UTI since then.

My Crowley was having problems peeing when he was younger, straining and
only getting out a bit at a time, but the vet said his bladder wasn't full
and he didn't seem to actually have an infection. It turns out in his case,
too, it was probably stress, and he eventually recovered and has been fine
since.
