My boyfriend and I recently brought his 7 yr old ocicat Lucky to our home . He had been staying with my boyfriends mother for about a year (since my boyfriend moved out). I didnt want to bring him into this space that we live in because it is quite small and I didnt want to cause upset between all of my cats and him .
I decided to bring lucky home with us about a week ago because I didnt feel like my boyfriends mother was taking proper care of lucky. He had fleas and I often came over and saw a stinky litter box that looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a week.
I have three other cats who are all related. Mom and two babies. The are all 1 and two yrs old. They are nice and then aggressive towards lucky. Its like they are two faced.
I noticed that lucky pees along the entrance to his litter box and his urine looked slightly orange tinted. Then it would look normal for a couple of days and then slightly orange. Then this morning when I got up it looked red . And later when I cleaned his litter box I wiped his urine up and it most defintely looked like there was blood on the paper towel.
Could this be cause from stress or is this most likey a UTI? I told my boyfriend that he is taking his cat to the vet tomorrow one way or another.
I am very worried about him now after reading info on line.
