He sounds a lot like your cat - issues with crystalization and much of the same behavior.
We never determined precisely what it was that caught this but with our vet's (expensive) help we figured out:
- he had diabetes which was making him pee more. With crystals it could have been painful. The solution - address diabetes with insulin and special food.
- he also appeared to have some sort of infection which again could have been causing pain. Solution - antibiotic pills.
- we have two cats so we made sure both litter boxes were scooped daily. We might have gone from 1 giant box to 2 medium ones to make sure they each had their "own" one.
It got so bad that eventually we had to lock him in the tiled bathroom downstairs to stop damage to the laminate until the antibiotics kicked in. He was one miserable cat.
TLDR - $40 cat from SPCA cost way too much to addressing peeing problem.
