   Hello,
   if you cat is struggling to urinate, you need to go to your normal veterinary center. Blockages in cats are very severe and need attention right away.
   We do not recommend placing a urinary catheter by yourself as it can do damage.
   He will need a urinary catheter to be placed for at least 3 days and be on IV fluids. This should not wait.

   Ty for the answer but it was too late. I had to put him down he had started getting seizures and I agree with the vet because my mother was a vet , it’s likely he has some other health issues pertaining to the crap food he was on before I realized how bad the food was. Once I switched over to the most high end uti food ( Nutrience) he lasted another 8-9 months before he slowly got worse , it could have been he had something hereditary before the uti began , an underlying health issue unknown, after all he was rescued from a farm and living barn life . ;( so he had a great life and it was greatly improved however house cats are less active making the uti inevitable upon whatever else he had . The vet drained his bladder instantly and I got to spend lots of time with him before and while at the vet before finally giving him the best treatment of all .. go in peace and no more suffering. Such a shame with male cats , this is the second I’ve had to put down bc they overcharge for a simple Fix to save his life . Many vets would agree that places don’t really need to put the animal to sleep unless it’s critical to them and no amount of money could save them , sadly my case. All because I was trying to get the funds in the first place to save his life for a simple drain ! I just bought a house , unfortunately my situation did not help my kitties life. In the future I recommend getting pet insurance for vet bills as I was planning to get but Covid made that a challenge.
