Be sure that Dizzy is urinating normally. If he seems to be straining at all, trying to urinate frequently or there is a decreased amount of urine in the litter box then it could be a life threatening urinary blockage. If he is crying, acting at all sick or not urinating he should see a veterinarian asap.
