Still don't know if my cat's sick.
Something else to consider, although it doesn't really seem this is
the problem... There is a rare condition where a human womans ureter passage is so tiny that the impurities in the urine cannot get through. This can last for years until the problem is discovered and can cause many problems in the meantime. It would seem a simple blood test would rule this out but I am not really sure. The urethra then needs to be stretched and the problem is no longer a problem. I wonder if this could occur in cats? And I wonder if urine crystals are comparatively the same size as the impurities in the urine? Seems like the crystals would be much larger... I am curious about this because I had understood that females could suffer from cystitis but that it is simply more common in males... much more common. In any case, good luck!!!

Actually, I think cystitis is more common in females, but more dangerous and painful in males due to the smaller opening - I'd think that it'd be diagnosed in males sooner as well, which could seem like they get it more often. Could be wrong though. jmc

In any case, just wishing for you and your kitty that she does not
develop the problem again or if she does you can get to the bottom of it. :-) Good luck ;-)
