Hello! So, my baby is now 11 months old, a male, unneutered (I am not allowed to neuter him before September according to contract for some sweet Russian blue kittenbabies) and he has recently started marking all my personal belongings that are laying on the floor (a scarf that had fallen down, a handbag and a travel bag, also a carpet). He is also peeing less, as in... As frequently as before (2-3 times a day), but in my opinion in much smaller amounts. He doesn't strain to pee, as far as I have seen. He also doesn't cry out. Although he does walk around before peeing and making very loud noises sometimes. However, never while he actually pees. I'm a known hypochondriac so I'm alarmed, so I'm taking a urine sample in tomorrow, if I manage to actually get one, but meanwhile - how possible is it that this is just a "male" thing and nothing to do with urinary issues? It's not spraying. He pees on horizontal ground. My breeder, however, told me that some male cats do it instead of spraying when they're young or maybe just have a different character, and she is not worried at all. Says she has seen all this before with his own male cats. And at the moment it's spring, I live in the city and there's probably tons of females in heat nearby. My baby whines and yowls, excessively rubs himself against a certain chair & curtain, tries to mate his toys, walks around restlessly, he is still as active as ever, very playful, he eats well, his pee (as much as I could see from what dripped on the floor from my soaked scarf -.- ) is yellow and not blood-tinged, he lets me touch his abdomen, he doesn't overgroom himself and as far as my non-vet-self could feel, his stomach between ribs and hip bones is fairly easy to palpate, in some positions seems to feel tight but at the same time others is soft, and doesn't contain any 'hard' parts (like a blocked bladder would feel like, I assume). So.. what are the chances that his peeing in small amounts is actually normal and just the "perks" of having a male cat?
Please help me not lose my mind before tomorrow.
Thanks guys.
