These signs might be compatible with a urinary tract infection/inflammation. Stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation) infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of it. These signs must be checked as soon as possible as urinary tract infection can be dangerous in male (especially neutered) cats as it can develop into a urinary tract obstruction/blockage. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I am sorry to hear that! I would certainly take him into the vet if you are able to- male cats with urinary issues of any kind can be prone to life-threatening blockages. Infections, stones, stress and systemic causes can all cause the symptoms you are seeing. I am not sure which he has but he likely needs further treatment. I would also make sure he is on a good quality wet food, has fresh clean water every day and multiple litterboxes. I hope this helps and he gets better soon!
