Sick Kitty
I just got back from the vet's. Tawny was acting very strangely today, meowing and howling (he's not normally vocal) and spending a lot of time in the litter box. I suspected he might have a urinary tract blockage (rather common, and very dangerous for male cats), and the vet agrees. They'll try and get a catheter into him, and will have to keep him over the weekend.
UPDATE: Looks like Tawny is going to be OK. According to the vet, Tawny had a fairly substantial blockage, but they were able to get the catheter in. He'll stay at the vet's for the weekend, to make sure he's properly hydrated and that there are no further complications. Thanks for your thoughts!
