Cat urine test shows blood, but no visible blood. Is it urgent?

Question

We had bought a cat check up at home kit and the results said he had blood in his urine but we aren’t able to see it at all with the naked eye. He’s only 4 years old and I was just curious if it’s an emergency situation because I can’t get him into a vet right now.

Poor Tigger! Vets are seeing pets during this time for illnesses, and the answer to your question depends on his symptoms. If he appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until Monday morning to have him seen by a vet. If he appears lethargic, ill or distressed, 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!
