I would recommend that you have Milo examined by a vet immediately. Lack of urination in a cat diagnosed with bladder stones can indicate blockage or severe kidney damage, and this is a medical emergency. Sometimes you have to try a couple different brands of the prescription food for urinary disease to find which one a cat will like. But this is a secondary issue to the fact that he isn't producing urine right now.
