It sounds as though she definitely had a UTI, and stress can bring those on. Some cats suffer repeated bouts through out their life time because of it. She could still be weeing else where because she still associates the tray with the pain of weeing. You could try changing the litter tray, change its position and change the litter in it to break her association with the current set up and the pain of weeing.

For litter try Cat Attract. It has a special ingredient that is supposed to encourage the cat to wee on it. Its also very fine peices and soft on paws (not ideal as it is clay based which isn't great but OK in short term to break a habit). http://www.rlpetproducts.co.uk/store...s/cat-attract/

There is also a litter that detects the presence of blood and other things which can give you a heads up on certain problems like UTIs allowing you to get them treatment before symptoms start to develop http://www.crystalclearpet.com/shop/...health_buy.htm

To help destress them both then feliway plug ins can help, or zylkene (sp?) supplement.

Siamese and orientals are fantastic cats but being highly intelligent are prone to be more sensitive about things some definitely suffer from feline OCD. Congratulations on your two new additions. Its very early days, but I am sure when they are fully settled and have found their feet and are used to their new surroundings and new slaves then you will see a couple of different cats.
