Male cat not able to pee. Help

All of your questions are valid, but until he can again be seen by a vet, anything we say is purely speculation. It is true that he may need to stay in the hospital, but for as much as you can, make sure you know what they plan to do and why. I understand the vets don't like to be questioned, but you seem to have in the past found some delicate balance between 'questioning' them and getting details without offending them. Make your talents shine again.

Showing an interest in eating is also a hopeful sign. Why do you say he can't eat it?

Because he is looking sick. His eyes look dull and tired

I really wish I knew, but as another poster mentioned it hasn't been a super long time so hopefully once he gets into the vet and gets his bladder drained out, you'll get more answers. You're doing so much for him.
Is he still vomiting?

It could be the medicine he's had, or the vomiting has made him nauseous, or just feeling "full" from being blocked. I wouldn't stress over him not eating right now, especially since he showed interest in food.

No, 2-3 hours ago he tried to vomit but nothing came. After that he is not nauseating.
He is making faint sounds. It is frightening me.

Definitely a good idea. Make sure you have other places in mind that you can get to in a hurry. Keep their address and phone numbers on hand so you can call and know how to get there.
Are you planning to drive him to the vets yourself?

Yesterday when I called all the clinics.. some of them recommended me 2-3 clinics.. they said these clinics might catheter cats. As it was Sunday yesterday they were not available. Today I think I can find some vets for sure.

Keep their information handy just in case. I'm really, really rooting for you both.

They will sedate him again today, right? Is that ok? In addition to anesthesia he gave those drops too.
My mom is saying those drops might be diazepam. The vet said it will relax his bladder. I gave those drops thrice yesterday.
Try calling VETS4PETS again it’s early am, maybe they are not so busy right now.
Diazepam is along the same lines as prazosin. Should produce similar results, including side effects like drowsiness and so forth.
Dr Harish works there. He has great reviews. 24 hour vet, please take your baby boy. It’s very urgent. One of my cat passed away from this same condition, while he was with a pet sitter.

Yep, this is exactly what happened with my cat. They whisked him into the emergency room as soon as I arrived after spending a night straining to urinate and vomiting. He was blocked due to struvite crystals. He ended up needing surgery after they unblocked him, because he was blocked again less than 2 weeks later (he had a tiny urethra).
