Well Jesse James has been having a little trouble over the weekend... in the litter box area.
He has been going in his litter box lots, but not really producing a lot of urine; and what he has has been quite dark.
We took him to the vet's today to get him checked over. The vet was quite nice and said it was a surprise that such a young cat should have a urine problem.
So first of all he had to suffer the indignity of the thermometer up his bum, then an injection, and then the vet started explaining how a male cat's penis wasn't like a human male's and basically a bit rubbish- poor Jesse !
We've got some tablets to give him for the next week, and hopefully that will be everything cleared up xxx I might look into seeing how much getting him pet insurance would be, if I can get a discount if I add him onto Pepe's premium ...
The vet also suggested a water fountain to encourage him to increase his fluids intake... and also flavoured water ???

Nixon has had a few urinary tract infections. He has a misshapen bladdar and had to have surgery to remove chrystals that had cloged up in his bladdar. That was a rare situation however.
URIs are common in male cats just do what the doctor says and everything will be OK.
Aw, I sure hope Jesse is feeling better soon.
Beautiful picture btw!
