Some of our members here have also obtained some special crystal litter from their vets which doesn't absorb the urine.

You may need to ask your vet for some as a last resort...

Yes I have got some of those from the vets but it is only a little bag, it says to put it in a clean cat litter tray etc. but the thing is he is one of these who takes about 5 mins of scratching around before he does any thing, so I was told to put them in a smaller bowl and then as he starts to wee push this bowl under, but he gets that far down I can`t get the bowl under him.

Might try either buying some more crystals or the aquarium gravel idea.

Re: HELP needed (PEE- sample)PLEASE


Hi Leesy, they are small bags arent they. I have had to collect samples from Eva and my dear departed Winston. All I did was clean a litter tray out, put the crystal/silicone stuff in the tray, confine kitty to one room with the litter tray in that room also, and wait. One time Winston took the whole day before he would use the tray, another time I had to confine Eva for several days at a time but we finally got one.
Wish you the best of luck, it's not always easy but they normally perform eventually.
