It may indicate that something is off, but I would only be concerned if he was showing signs of being obstructed. If he is straining to urinate and you have not seen urine in the past 24 hours, then I would recommend an urgent visit to the vet. Otherwise, I recommend just monitoring him for any of the above signs of obstruction. I hope that helps and all is well with Pinky.
