I'm so glad to hear that Mishi is doing well and wasn't blocked. What a scare you must of had.

Symptoms I Noticed In Storm:
1. frequent trips to the litterbox with little drops or no pee biscuits
2. frequent licking of his private parts
3. howling in pain
4. urinating outside the litterbox
5. blood in urine
6.staining in or outside of the litterbox
7. he was also trying to show me/tell me that something was wrong which is very unusual for a cat because they'll usually hide when they're sick

The first time he wasn't completely blocked and could only pee tiny drops and there was also blood in the urine. He ended up peeing on his favorite blanket right in front of me and that's how I noticed that there was blood in it. I called the ER and they told me to bring him right in. By the time they examined him, he was totally blocked. It doesn't take long for them to become blocked so in my opinion it's much better to be safe than sorry.

I think that the second time he was doing pretty much the same thing but was blocked. This time they couldn't even catheterize him because his penis had developed scar tissue on it. Sometimes this will happen when the cat has been catheterized a lot but he had only had this done one time while in my care. This is the main reason why he had to have PU surgery performed right away. The surgeon also said that he had a very tiny urethra and that it was just a matter of time before he had problems.

Hopefully Mishi won't ever become blocked but if he does at least you now know where your local ER is located. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers. Please get well soon Mishi.
