So, last night, my neutered, 5 year old boy cat just started howling and acting weird. I have 0 idea why. Other than, maybe he saw/smelled another cat last night that set him off? Idk. Has anyone else had this kind of a problem? Should I take him to a vet? He doesn’t seem to have a problem with me touching him anywhere but he’s definitely on edge and being weird/howling. He’s never done anything like this before. Thoughts?
Edit: I have taken him to a vet. We’ll see. Thanks everyone.
Edit 2: urinary blockage. Removing that and getting X-rays. Thanks everyone. Going to be an expensive visit I think.
Oh awesome! I’m so glad your cat is doing better. Yeah, they also said I had to put him on a special diet for the rest of his life.
I didn’t get the info on how to check his bladder, but, I may end up back there again. He hasn’t quite used his litter box quite yet. He came home at 5 yesterday, so I’ll watch through the rest of the day today.
I’m also glad I caught it quickly, cause the vet said it went very smoothly but it isn’t uncommon that my bill could have been 2-3x more. So, I’m glad I was as nervous about him as I was. Hopefully it saves me and him down the line.
