Thank you for all your good thoughts and prayers.

Tracy, I think it might be a bit of constipation. He does meow when he goes to the litterbox, but he is always doing that, before and after. I think he is telling me that now he's done and I can come clean it up. Over the past year, he talks a lot more. His poo looks fine, although sometimes it's hard in one end and soft in the other.

Today, there's been no blood and he pooped twice. I'll keep an eye on him.
