Well I'm home now. And of course I had to learn the hard way. I did take him to my Mom's house. He only came out from 'hiding' while they were making dinner.
Before I left their house to go on our little weekend-get-a-way, I was holding him and all the sudden I felt my clothes getting a little warm. I put him down and looked down at my shirt and noticed he urinated on me! I looked down at my hand and noticed there was some blood in my hand. I freakled out. We almost didn't go on our trip. I called the vet and told them what just happened. They told me they couldn't get him in at the time. And they told me to wait until his vet appointment (which is Tuesday.) They also explained to me that if he starts screaming and crying really loud and his ears get really hot to take him into the emergency vets office.
So all in all I was glad I took him to my Mom's house. Other wise I wouldn't have known if he would have needed to go to the emergency vets office. He never had to go (thank god for that) but he wouldn't go potty or eat anything. They tried to give him steak and canned cat food and treats. They gave him a few of his toys but he was not intrested. He would just hiss at them. (Yep that's my boy!) As soon as I got there he looked at me let me pet him and started to purrrrrrr. He was happy his mom was home. We are home now and he is very happy to be home, back to his house where he can roam as he wants, eat when and where he wants. And so on.
But I have to say I had a great time on my trip. And I am glad my mom was there to watch him and make sure he didn't get any sicker while I was gone. She makes quilts so we think he might have got a little poke by one of the pins in the quilt she was working on and maybe that was where the blood came from. I explained all of this to the vet and she didn't seem to be to worried. He was acting normal all week and right up until he seen his box.
I will let everyone know what goes on at the vet on Tuesday with this issue as well as the others.

P.S. Next time we go on a trip he is staying home and she will be coming over here to watch him for me. I have learned my lesson. Thank you everyone for your advice. I also took lots of pictures and will be posting those as soon as I get them developed.
