my 12y.o. male cat may not be urinating.. we have 3 cats and its hard to tell who's pee is who's. he does poop, but i can't tell if he's urinating or not. a little history: he recovered from acute kidney failure back in september 2007. he's been fine ever since. but this last week he's starting to act similar to the way he acted when he had the kidney failure. right now he still eats, drinks, likes to play a little, and poops. but he is more lethargic than normal and just has that look on his face that something is wrong.
i took him to the vet the other day and they took his vitals and coudn't find anything wrong that would need further examination. i have read that a male cat who cannot urinate will die in a couple days. now i'm not sure if he is urinating or not. how can i tell?
or should i not worry.. as long as they are eating and drinking they should be okay right?
