Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 13 lbs
my male cat keeps screaming (clearly in pain) when he defecates and sometimes he lets out sort of a shriek when picked up in a certain way. What's wrong and what do I do?

Poor Tiger! He may be constipated leading him to scream when defecating, and his belly may be sore when picked up from this constipation. Because he keeps screaming, I think he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into one immediately.
