Thank you all for your advice, kind words, and well wishes. We brought him home a few hours ago. He will be getting medication (antibiotic, painkiller, and anti-urethra spasm) around the clock. I've placed additional water bowls around the house. He is getting prescription canned food. I've...

I would like to update this thread with a new thread that I posted in the Cat Health section. My cat suffered a blockage late last night and we got him to the ER just in time. You can read the post here.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Furballsmom, thank you for the financial aid links. I am reading them now. As for daily walks outside, he does not enjoy being on a leash. He is a strictly indoor cat, but we do let both cats outside in the screened-in patio area where they can lounge or walk...

Follow-up to this thread that I created about two weeks ago. My cat became completely blocked late last night. He was acting fine all day, ate normally, etc. and then he wouldn't move at night. He yowled and had his hind legs stretched out like he was straining. I took him to the ER vet...

I wanted to add (just noticed I can't edit my previous post): has anyone noticed their cat losing weight on a strict urinary care diet? He seems to be a bit smaller than what he used to be a month or two ago... he was eating commercial cat food before (I know, very bad). Hoping he doesn't lose...

Thank you to all for your advice. I got an additional litter box this morning and placed it in a different area in the house (close to where he has been peeing). I also purchased Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract Litter and placed it in the new box. Do I discourage the other cat from using it if I see him...

I have a 3 year old cat that's been peeing outside of the litter box for the past month and half. Some background information... I've had him since he was 6-8 weeks old; he is neutered and goes to the vet every year for checkup and vaccines. We have one other cat in the house; he is a senior cat...
