I, too, am thinking blockage... not something anything should have
to endure, REALLY horrible way to die, almost always fatal within
days, if not hours, once they get 100% blocked. He needs to go to a
vet. Very common problem in male cats these days, sadly. Sometimes
they can use a catheter to open the blockage, but sometimes it
requires surgery to correct permanently. Has she turned him over
and really looked hard at his pee-pee? It may be an infection, if
that's the case, he may look obviously reddened around his penile
area. She can try gently massaging it a little with clean fingers,
judge his reaction, most any cat will struggle and try to get away,
but if he blows a gasket and freaks out and screams in pain, that's
a likely sign he needs vet care for some kind of urinary problem.
Also, see if she can lock him in a room with bare floors, and put
down just a white sheet or towel for him to pee on. That way,
she'll be able to see if there's any blood in his urine.

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special
needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.
Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they
add up until she earns a free can of formula!
PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil!
If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing
address you can send them to, to help feed Bazil!
