My cat acted oddly after work—normally lively but last night motionless, refusing food/water, licking genitals, crying, repeatedly in the box with no result, even hissed at me. I thought constipation and gave probiotics; this morning one black hard stool, still crying with airplane ears.
Black hard stool means constipation, but check for urine—no pee suggests dangerous urinary blockage needing catheterization. With anorexia and crying it's more than constipation; see a vet.
No urination for over 24 hours, keeps licking the area, vulva swollen for a week (thought it was heat since she’s 8 months); one or two bowel movements a day, appetite okay, but low spirits
No urine for over 24 hours may be urinary blockage. If the bladder is full, get microscopy and urinalysis at a vet to tell infection from stone, then catheterize and treat. If the bladder isn't full, heat-related low water, hormone upset, or stress may be the cause — soothe her and encourage drinking; if still no urine, see a vet.
My cat keeps licking down there and going to the litter box; its nose is dry—is it sick? Noticed this morning, eating/playing still normal but now just lying down sleeping
From your description, frequent litter trips and licking the urethra suggest a urinary infection or stones (cystitis, urethral stones, nephritis, urethritis). Get an ultrasound and X-ray, possibly biochemistry, to find the cause and treat. Delay could cause urinary blockage and worse outcomes.
What should I do if my cat keeps going to the litter box but can’t pass stool or urine?
Constant litter-box trips usually mean a urinary blockage or constipation. If it can't urinate, causes include infection, stones, FIC, or tumors—needs imaging and urine tests. If constipated, try more water, yogurt, honey, or hairball paste; severe cases may need lactulose.
One day I drove two hours with my cat to a new home on a rough road; the cat cried the whole way. At the new home it drank less, had blood in its urine, and low volume—sometimes normal, sometimes bloody.
Severe stress can cause blood in urine; get a vet ultrasound and blood test to rule out infection. Crystals suggest feline idiopathic cystitis—follow vet advice, increase water, keep environment stable. If a urinary blockage occurs, seek immediate catheterization to avoid urethritis and kidney failure.
My cat has frequent urination with small clumps and a slightly hard bladder; what is the cost range?
Urinary blockage needs catheterization, medication, and fluids. Anesthesia costs 400-800 yuan, about 1000 yuan per day, and 3000-5000 yuan over 3-5 days, more if recurrent. Consider pet insurance.
Can a cat with difficulty urinating take Shilintong? Is it only for kidney failure?
Use a pet-specific diuretic for difficulty urinating, not the human drug Shilintong. If kidney failure or urinary blockage occurs, catheterization comes first. Follow your vet's guidance.
Cat frequents the litter box, produces little urine, and has blood in the urine
Frequent urination with little output and blood is a classic sign of urinary blockage, possibly from bladder stones, urinary tract stones, infection, idiopathic cystitis, or tumors. If the bladder is very full, seek veterinary care for catheterization and fluids.
Cat squatted frequently, seemed blocked, then couldn’t pee or poop; after shots peed/pooped once, then not again; got catheter, passed a little but still no urine
Urinary blockage has many causes: bladder stones, urethral stones. See a vet for diagnosis. Follow vet advice: continue catheterization, keep the catheter until crystals/stones pass and normal urination returns, then remove it. Treat promptly to avoid secondary issues.
What happens if a cat is over-frightened
An over-frightened cat may hide, refuse food and litter, and become alert. Severe fright lowers immunity and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or urinary blockage, and long-term anxiety or depression.
