Feline Urinary syndrome, also known as feline lower urinary tract disease or FLUTD. Basically, she gets inflammation in her bladder off and on for no apparent reason. There are no crystals, no bacteria, but every few months she starts getting blood in her urine and urination becomes very painful. It LOOKS just like a UTI.

Now she gets subQ fluids twice a week, she's on a urinary diet because my vet feels that it will benefit her even though she doesn't have crystals, and when she flares up she gets a short round of pred. I'm hoping that us moving to a wetter, cooler environment will help her too.

I didn't realize she was having a flare-up at first this last time because she was peeing on the floor and Jasper was licking it up, YUCK! I noticed her grooming herself less and getting sensitive about her tummy being touched and started the pred, then caught her peeing on the floor the next day.
