Question
my cat has started to have blood in his urine what are the most common reason this would happen and what can i do.  i can't get him to my vet next week

Answer
Cristi,
It is very important for you to get him to your vet. Male cats will block up, and this can cause blood in the urine, frequent straining and you will notice him going to the litter box a lot.   A male cat can die if he does not get veterinary treatment. I am not trying to scare you, but you really do need to somehow get him in.  The longer you wait the worse it gets, it will NOT get better on its own.

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
