That can indicate there is a urinary Track infection. he will need to be seen by a vet to get a urine sample checked to see if there are crystals also. Make cats can become obstructed and not urinate at all if it goes untreated and that is an emergency

    Thank you for submitting your question regarding Salem. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. The red tinge to the urine is most likely blood. He will need to have a urine sample tested and possibly x-rays to look for bladder stones. Male cats are prone to crystals, stones or sludge in the urine that can result in a urinary tract obstruction. If this is not the case, it can be inflammation in the bladder due to stress of the baby. I hope this information helps!
