Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Male | neutered | 17 years and 7 months old | 9 lbs
This morning I discovered dark brownish urine in my cat's box and a little bit of brown dribble on his hind end. Then later, he peed and it was regular color. Was this bloody urine? What should I look out for?

Yes, it could be blood in Small Boy's urine, and that can signal he is suffering from something like feline idiopathic cystitis, bladder stones, or kidney failure. He does have to see a vet for this. If he appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until Monday morning. If he appears lethargic, ill or distressed, he's straining to urinate and nothing is coming, he's urinating in small amounts frequently, 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!
