It is possible, but one of the problems with these types of issues is that crystals don't come in ones....they usually come in multiples. So, it's entirely possible for the kitty to have passed a stone or even some stones but unless the issue is addressed it's only a matter of time until he's in trouble again. It's also possible that the crystal moved or rotated allowing some of the pressure to release. Rather like a ferret blockage...it floats around until once again it becomes wedged, causing excruciating pain accompanied with the vomiting that comes with pain. I would be very tempted to try and get this cat to a vet asap, but that just me ciao

Agreed with Heather, its only a matter of time unfortunately with these things Tell your mom that even if he did pass something (I.e. A stone) there's guaranteed to still be crystals left or other stones and the longer you wait, the bigger they get and then they Must be surgically removed. Right now, if theyre small they can be flushed out before they become too big. Much cheaper and less invasive than surgery (these are very expensive surgeries generally), hopefully you can convince her

Thats what I thought. I told her he may need surgery (which we cant even afford which worries me even more) if we wait. She doesnt believe me because hes doing better. I will talk to her again and hopefully she will just take him to the vet.

So I finally got her to do something. Shes getting a special litter (called beads I think) and she will lock him in a room with no other cats and then take a sample of the peed on litter to the vet to be tested.

That's something, anyway! This MIGHT help, not sure. But try to get him to drink a lot more than he normally would. I mix in some water with their canned, just to make sure mine are getting enough fluid.
