My 17.5 yr old tuxedo make has a bit of froth/bubbles in his urine. Not sure if it’s from interaction with litter or high protein in his urine 684730D0-AF0A-457C-A108-204B74AFFCD5

Hello!  Your vet can check for protein in the urine easily enough, by using a protein dipstick on a fresh sample.  It can be helpful to pick up warning signs of other diseases too such as diabetes and (with a refractometer) kidney disease, so your vet may be happy to do this for your old cat if you can provide a fresh sample.   I have never heard of bubbles in urine as a warning sign of protein, but a urine test may be a useful way in which to find out.  If your vet knows something I don't know about this, please do let me know!
