My cat can't urinate, is in pain, and acting strange. What to do?

Question

Hello, my cat is acting weird. He can’t urinate and tries to do it alot. He is moving very slowly and meows if I touch him. I can’t visit the clinic because it is closed right now and the nearest one is more than 200 kilometers away. I’m really worried, please help.

This is a medical emergency and Blacky. has to see a vet now. If he can't urinate, his urethra is likely obstructed, and that will kill him without immediate veterinary attention. Call your local clinic to see if they have a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. If there isn't a vet, you have to start driving to that other clinic now. If his urethra is obstruction and he doesn't get help, his bladder will rupture, and this is a terrible way for a cat to die. Please take him into a vet asap.
