Why is my cat peeing pinkish urine? Is it a serious health issue?

Question

I have a Male cat, he is an Egyptian Mau. Today I had to close him into my bedroom while my roommate moved out of the apt. I had food, water and litter box in there as well and as soon as I got home I let him out. My boyfriend came home with a plastic bag of groceries that he set on the floor to take off his coat. My cat climbed on top of the bag and started to pee. The pee was a light pinkish color. He seems fine otherwise. Help! Is he okay? Pet's info: Cat | Egyptian Mau | Male | neutered | 12 lbs

Poor kitty. Cats can have blood in their urine as a result of stress, bladder stones or even an underlying urinary tract infection. As long as he is urinating readily with no excessive straining, vocalization, or lethargy, he shouldn't be in any immediate danger. I would recommend taking him in to your vet within the next day or two to have a urinalysis done so that he can ge properly diagnosed and treated. Until then, continue to monitor him for any of the symptoms that I mentioned above, which would warrant an emergency visit to the vet. Otherwise, a regular vet visit is appropriate. Best wishes with your pet Beef and I hope he gets his urinary issues resolved soon.
