My cat's pee has soft chunks. Is it a UTI or a serious blockage?

Question

My cat peed on my carpet and the pee had small soft chunks in it. Does he have a urinary tract infection? What are the chunks? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered

This could be crystals in his urine. It's quite concerning that Gilmore has these chunks in his urine, as these could potentially cause a blockage in his urethra. A urethral blockage is a medical emergency as it's fatal without treatment. I think it's best you take him into a vet immediately to get this diagnosed and treated. Best of luck.
