    The vet will have a look and give you the correct answer. Book him in and take him in as soon as possible.

    Welcome! :) We are not permitted to give veterinary advice, please get an urgent appointment could be anything from a life threatening blockage to a less serious infection.

  • Please get him to the vet, it sounds like he is in a lot of pain! It could be a urine infection but we are not allowed to give medical advice here. I'm sorry but you say this is "persistent" so why haven't you taken him to a vet yet?
  • Have you been to the vet?

    They're the only ones who'll be able to help ..... please take him today as he obviously needs some help

    Please get him there quickly - one of ours had something similar and it was very serious indeed. Don't delay, whatever you do.

    This happened to my cat and he had a bladder blockage - luckily I took him straight to the out of hours vet because he could have died within 3 days if I hadn't! As it was, he's having to be monitored regularly now to check his kidneys are functioning properly as it put a lot of strain on them. Our cat is an outside cat so we didn't see him straining to go.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • So what did the vet say? I hope your cat is ok.

    Persistent problem? And asking on a forum instead of taking the poor cat to the vets?

    Poor cat...
