You might want to ask the vet about his diet. There are some things you can do to help prevent him getting back in the same condition. Older cats don't tend to take this too well. Both physically and mentally. If he's an older cat, he may never pee appropriately again. You may have to change the litter box, the litter and the location to help him disassociate going to the potty with the pain. Maybe that along with the diet change you might get your cat back.

I hope so, man.

So about 6 months ago he had his first UTI, and I didn't really know what was up for a while. There was a female cat in heat outside, and he kept peeing next to the door, so I assumed he was smelling that female.

Then he started licking his belly raw. My wife said you know, this could be a UTI. So we gave him apple cider vinegar for a few days in a syringe, because I read online that could help. That did not, lol.

So I bought some fishmox, which is just amoxicillin for fish tanks, its the exact same stuff you get from the pharmacy, just for animals and not subject to FDA recalls. I looked up the dosing and it was 5-7mg per pound per day. So he got half a 250mg a day for 10 days, and that fixed him up. However, it also made his skin super itchy, so he got a bunch of scabs from scratching at himself. He looked like if DARE made a muppet of a cat addicted to meth to scare kids. But he healed up and was fine.

Then about a month ago I noticed him licking his belly raw again, so he got another round of amoxicillin. He seemed better and besides the scabby skin, he was good.

Then today he peed outside his box again, and I noticed it was dark orange/red color.

We are going to replace his litter box. He lives in my office, which is a detached building from my house. We also have his brother (same parents, different litter) and they got along for a few years until they didn't, and they kept fighting and were really tearing each other up. So I moved this cat out to my office where I spend most of my time. He's also deaf, so I think he was really happy to have the smaller area, because he had been spending a lot of his time hiding. Now he's chill and me and him get along really well. He just doesn't like a lot of commotion going on, or new people. So the building where I grow weed and don't let anyone in besides my wife is perfect for him. Anyways, where I was going with that was, there really is no where else to put his litter box, right now its in the shower stall of the bathroom because I never use that shower, I have the shower head hooked up to a hose instead that I use for filling up buckets for watering.

In the winter when I don't mind the extra heat, I'll turn the small tent on for him a few hours a day so he can spend some time under the grow light.
 
My mom has a brand new zazzy 5x5 she never even opened cuz she got it to grow cucumbers here and even bought self pollinating seeds for indoors and then new landlord said no go! Fucking ass clown! :cuss::finger::rofl:

I am growing both Diva and Beit Alpha cukes this year, both are the parthenocarpic (spelling?) type that do that.

Divas are much better than the Beits. The Beit Alphas have prickly skin and have produced about half as many fruits. The divas are thin skinned, darker green, longer, and have produced an absolutely insane amount of fruits until the weather spent 2 weeks in the high 90s and killed them.
 
I had to stock up today! Tom Thumb had our dasani water 24pk for buy 2 get 3 free so 5 of them for $14! While i was there i noticed some other sales! ;) :eyebrows::headbang::rofl:View attachment 1754642

Swiss Cake Rolls are that GOAT. Nutty Buddies have gotten small, and they just don't taste like I remember as a kid.

Walmart has little debbie pint ice creams. The star crunch and the oatmeal creme pie flavors are the best.
