Here's how I collected urine when Merlin needed to be tested:
I obtained a syringe from my vet (with needle).
I covered the inside of a very shallow tray with clear plastic wrap and
placed the tray in a corner where Merlin likes to go. As soon as he was
finished, I took him out and drew up the urine in the syringe, then placed it
in a clean container. It worked really well.
Good luck...
