Hi guys.. I'm super confused and I was hoping you could help me..
I have 1.5 year old neutered boy who has been with us for almost a year now and is a dream. He brings so much joy in our lives. He's super well behaved and nice. We've never had issues with him going outside the box or anything. Not even once. He has never peed or pooped in the house once. Something weird happened today though.. But first a little background. Kit Cat has access to all rooms in our house and he likes weird spots to sit like every cat. One of his favorite is by the fridge, where we keep 32 bottle watercases, usually 2. He sits inside the cases between the bottles. I always thought it was super cute and he has been doing it since we got him a year ago. We bought another case of water two days ago and put it on top of the other two. Which made it difficult for him to get inside the case I guess as there's no room since the case hasn't been opened it.
Today I came home from work and we played and cuddled like we usually do. I sat down to watch some TV and he was running around the kitchen playing. He started long meows and I didn't think much of it. He meows and talks sometimes. Then I heard a biiig cough or a sneeze.. I couldn't figure out what it was but he seemed fine, not gagging or choking or anything. 10 minutes later I walked up and I saw some liquid on the floor close to the watercases. I thought maybe I spilled water when pouring myself a glass but I cleaned it up and it smelled like pee! I can't figure out why would he do that! Is he mad because we added another watercase where he sits? Is he sick, is it a UTI? Or is it an accident? Is it because he sneezed or coughed hard and that put pressure in his bladder? Or is he marking his territory 1 year later! There was pee all over the bottom watercase and he saw me all distressed, cleaning them up and I assume that made him anxious too. He has been running away from me since.. but he's completely normal other than that. Eating, drinking water, playing, I cleaned his box - everything seems okay..
But I'm so confused and worried! He's the love of my life. I don't want him to be in pain or be mad at us.. please help, I don't know if I did something or if something is wrong. Should I take him to the vet? Am I overreacting? All his shots and heartworm meds are up to date.. Here's a photo of my crazy kid
