Hi, my cat is having difficulty in urinating. I cant go to the vet not until friday. How can I help him in anyway? From what I have read in some pet articles he might have urinary tract infection. Thank you so much

Feed Tata wet food and add water to it to flush his bladder. If he appears lethargic, ill or distressed, he strains to urinate and nothing comes out, he starts yowling when he tries to urinate, or if the urine appears very bloody, then he should be seen by a vet ASAP. Best of luck.
