Is bloody or orange urine normal for my cat with a urinary catheter?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 years and 8 months old

Hello, my vet put to my cat the catheter, ( for the second time because the first one he destroyed everything...). After that je destroyed the first one, Klaus lost a lot of blood when he urinated. Now from the catheter he lose a lot of urine, but this urine sometimes is yellow and sometimes is orange/red. Klaus when go to urinate in rubble don't expel anything. The color of urine is ok? And is normal that when he go in rubble don't do anything because he lost urine with catheter everywhere?

No, it' s not normal . He should be able to pass urine even smaller amounts, not in a continuous stream, with blood but he should pass some ! If he doesn't it means he needs to have the urinary catheter again or he might need a urethrostomy, a more permanent solution to this problem. You need to bring Klaus to be checked over again .
