My cat is peeing little, often, and stressed after our recent move.

Question

We just moved house, cat was stressed in the car, and panting. He hid once we got to the new house and after a few hours decided to explore the house. He drank a lot of water later and peed a few times. I work up at around 4am to him constantly going to the litter box and peeing only a little bit. He was also drinking a bit of water.

Some cats can get stress related cystitis and this may be what is going on. I do strongly recommend getting him checked by a vet as soon as possible. Trying to urinate and not producing much could also be a sign of urinary stones and if his urinary tract becomes blocked and he is unable to urinate, this becomes a life-threatening condition. Your vet will do an exam, labwork, possibly x-rays, and based on these results will be better able to tell you what is wrong and how best to treat it.
