Poor Tom! I would be suspicious that Tom is dealing with some sort of urinary tract issue. Neutered male cats are very predisposed to urethral obstruction-a stone or plug forms in the urethra and means they cannot urinate. Visiting the litter box frequently with little/no urine production is a very common sign. If Tom IS producing urine in his box then I would suspect a urinary tract infection or cystitis. Either of these issues require immediate veterinary intervention. A urethral obstruction can be life threatening. Please take Tom to your vet as soon as possible-they can do a thorough physical exam to help determine the nature of the problem. Some diagnostics such as X-rays, ultrasound, urinalysis and bloodwork May be recommended as well. I hope Tom feels better soon!
