Not sure what are the signs Jr is showing at this stage, but stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation), infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of UTI (urinary tract infection). These signs must be checked as soon as possible as urinary tract infection can be dangerous in male (especially neutered) cats as it can develop into a urinary tract obstruction/blockage. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
