Hey,
I have a one-year-old male gray tabby and he's very healthy and very active, lol. Well, today for the first time, I noticed that he used the litter box a lot. He's an indoor cat, but I take him outside every other day, and let him walk around, get some fresh air and eat some grass. I also watch him and follow him around we have a HUGE property.
While outside, he peed a little in the dirt, didn't think it was a big deal. But he took a while sitting there...a little weird? So, about 10 mins. later after I brought him inside, I went in the basement to clean the litter box (I have two boxes. One in my room--it's ALWAYS clean, I scoop it everyday and it never smells at all, lol) and one in the basement. Well, after I cleaned the basement one, my male cat went in and peed again, it looked very little and again, took a while.
He did this a few more times later and went just now, but I took him out of the box after he was done and scooped the clump of urine he just did, to see how much he peed (gross, I know, but I was really concerned!) The clump was like, the size of a quarter. He's been eating fine, begged for dinner like always, lol, ate all of his food, drank some water. He has clean water everyday.
Could it be possible that he has a UTI or something?? I hope not because I have no money for the vet. Is there anything I get give him over the counter that will help him? Any feedback is appreciated! :-)
Thanks!!!
