So Edward, our two-year old black domestic cat, started making funny meows at about 11PM last night. He is ALWAYS meowing right when we go to bed--I call it his singing since it seems like he loves to hear himself talk.
Last night the meows changed into something not cat-like so I go into the kitchen where he was at and check on him. He's posturing (that's what the vet called it--he was hunched over like he was going potty) in the kitchen. I petted him and he rolled over and started to lick his no-no area.
Okay I know this is getting long.
Black one sitting next to the orange one.
Fast-forward-- we take him to the emergency vet and come to find out he has a Urinary Obstruction which is common in male cats. News to us!
$1,300 bucks-- just forewarning anyone that as male cats to keep an eye on them. The vet (and online) states that the cat can be in a life-threatening situation within 48 hours. Basically because they can not pee and it starts to ruin their insides.

Now all of our cats are moving to a prescription food (then to regular wet food) when Edward gets home. That's going to be nice and expensive.
