My cat peed multiple times in one visit. Is it an emergency?

Question

I noticed after my 1 year old Male cat exited the litterbox there were 4 clumps from peeing just in that one visit. Added up it was a normal amount of urination. He is eating well and drinking, acting normal. He was a little bit constipated the past few days (small hard stools). What could be a reason for starting/stopping urination in one trip? My vet office doesn't open for 9 more hours, and I want to make sure it's okay to wait until morning, that I dont need to go to an emergency clinic. Pet's info: Cat | American Longhair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 14 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Dexter. It could be he is suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones causing this urination behavior. If he appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until tomorrow morning to see a vet. If he appears lethargic, ill or distressed, he cries when urinating, tries to urinate but nothing comes out, he makes multiple trips to the litter box, or if the urine appears very bloody, then he should be seen by a vet ASAP. Feed him wet/canned food, add water to it, and make sure he drinks a lot of water to help flush the bladder. I hope this helps!
