Why is my cat howling, in pain, not peeing, and has cloudy pee?

Question

My cat has started howling lately as if his tummy hurts. Hes been using the bathroom less and not going in his litter box. I think he's been eating ok or at least I saw him eat yesterday. His urine looks cloudy (maybe milky would be a better way to describe it). He's clearly in pain and I think he feels bloated. All the veterinarian offices that I know of are closed today.

I would call around the clinics to find a vet on call. There is typically a vet on call on weekends to see emergencies, and the information to reach one is found on their answering machine. This is a medical emergency, and Chewy needs to see a vet now. When a cat starts howling, using the bathroom less, not going in the litter box, and has cloudy urine, those are signs of a UTI or bladder stones. Bladder stones can block his urethra, and that is fatal without treatment. Please find a vet on call to see him now, or take him into an ER vet.
