Our cat is limping and has pink urine, but doesn't seem in pain. Should we wait to see if he gets better? What can we do?

These seem like two unrelated problems, but I would not wait to get them evaluated. The pink urine is particularly concerning, because this indicates bladder inflammation and can lead to a urethra blockage; which is more common with male cats. It's best to have him seen by a vet within the next 24 hours, so they can find the cause of the limp and bladder inflammation; and give him the necessary treatment. I hope that helps and Barnabas gets better soon.
