I would recommend taking Digger in to the vet immediately. Male cats, especially larger cats, are at risk for urinary blockage and he is showing a possibility of this- blood in the urine, straining to urinate and frequent attempts. This can be very painful and in case of a complete blockage- a life threatening condition quickly. Even if it is not a complete blockage, ASAP detection will allow for better and more efficient treatment! I hope he is back to normal soon!!
