Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered
My cat has thrown up and peed on the floor multiple times. He never has accidents in the house. He seems uncomfortable and is quivering his tail excessively. Is this common with a stomach virus or something that needs attention from a vet?

I would recommend having Oscar examined by a veterinarian right away. Male cats can develop urethral blockages that only allow them to urinate small amounts (or not at all). This can become life-threatening if not treated right away. I am attaching a link to a handout below. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&C=&A=1111&SourceID= There certainly may be something else going on with Oscar, but a urethral blockage is too serious to wait on, so I would recommend having him seen tonight just to be safe. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Oscar is fine. Thanks for using PetCoach.
