Hi azrael2000, welcome to pets.ca.
How old are your kitties? Are they both neutered?

How was the UTI diagnosed? Was urine (obtained via cystocentisis) sent out to a lab for a culture and sensitivity test?
A true urinary tract
infection is actually quite rare in cats under the age of 10, which is why I'm wondering how old he is. Urinary tract
inflammation without the presence of bacteria is much more common, and can be the result of things like stress or diet.

How often is "regularly"? Once a week could be considered regular, but certainly not sufficient. Should be AT LEAST once a day, if not twice or more. How many boxes do you have? Ideally multi-cat households have a box per cat, plus an extra. So that would mean 3 boxes if you have 2 cats. Where they're located is also an important consideration.

It's possible, in so far as that "anger" is due to stress and stress can impact urinary tract health. But inappropriate elimination is NOT an act of vengeance. It's a symptom of something not being right with the cat or in the cat's environment. Our job is to figure out what that is.
