My cat is suddenly peeing little, lethargic, and meowing. Is it serious?

Question

Suddenly peeing around the house, and never very much. Also, acting more lethargic than usual, and walking around the house meowing a lot more. Going in and out of the box frequently, without actually using it. It has been cleaned recently. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 7 years and 5 months old | 12 lbs

I'd be very concerned that Skywalker has a urinary blockage (meaning he cannot fully release all the urine in his bladder). This is a medical emergency and he should be examined by a veterinarian right away. The blockage can be related to a plug of blood cells or bladder stones or urinary crystals. This blockage may require catherterization to remove and can be life threatening if not cleared. There is also a chance that Skywalker has feline lower urinary tract Disease which can also cause these signs. This also requires veterinary care to help treat so again, please take Skywalker to see a veterinarian right away. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for Skywalker!
