My cat hasn’t peed in over 24 hours and he keeps going in and out of the litter box. Is this serious?

Male tabby, 2 years old. He keeps going to the litter box but nothing’s happening. He’s not crying but he seems uncomfortable. Should I be panicking?

Answer

This could be a urinary blockage - especially in male cats - and it’s a genuine emergency. Don’t delay. Blockages can become life-threatening very quickly.While waiting, keep him calm and avoid forcing water or food. Go to the nearest emergency vet clinic. If you need any follow-up advice please don't hesitate to contact us.
