Starting to see some blues again. Yay?

Took her to the vet this morning for a check up as she's been having some pee-problems again. Suspect UTI but not sure. Maybe incontinence? She doesn't seem to realize when she needs to go pee. During the night, she'll often have "accidents" on the sofa or carpet where she's laying. It's almost like she doesn't notice she has to go until it's too late. She never sniffs around looking for a place to go.

Curious thing is, me and my partner have started taking her to her litter box every few hours to check if she needs to go - and almost every time, as soon as we put her in she'll go. Has anyone else had this problem?

Anyways - will be increasing her food (again) as she's lost even more weight. Gone from 3.8kg early March to 3.65kg now. No ketones.

That sounds like what Sheba had. She would be unaware she was dribbling urine..other times she was unable to pee for a while and would visit the LB often and strain and other times she would be in and out of the LB doing somall pees.
It was called idiopathic cystitis which does not require antibiotics..I will post a link for you to look at
I bought a felaway collar for Sheba and tried to stop any stress as they say stress can bring it on. It comes and goes and sometimes she had blood in her yrine. She had a bladder ultrasound to rule out other things and they diagnosed the idiopathic cystitis

Hm....it's not dribbling though. When she goes, it's A LOT. Definitely a full bladder.
We woke up one morning at 5am to the end of the bed being completely soaked, along with Ruki herself. She had it all over her fur and was shaking it off like a wet dog.
Almost as if it happened in her sleep and she didn't realize.
