    Sick cat who doesn't want to get up.
    I just found my 5 year old male outdoor cat sick on our patio. He was laying down next to a puddle of bloody urine which appears to be leaking from him. He does not want to get up. We moved him to a more sheltered area outside and made him a bed of old towels to keep him comfortable along with some food in water in case he feels like either of them. We live in a small town with no 24 hour vet emergency services nearby. The closest is over an hour and a half away. We do, however, plan on taking him to our in-town vet ASAP tomorrow morning. Until then, does anyone know what could be wrong with him? Is there anything more we can do for him until he sees a vet?

    I just hope he isn't in pain. Bloody urine, you say ? Could have been hit by a car, could have been poisoned. No nothing you can do now, you have tried. Did you check if he had eaten anything. But why didn't you bring him in the house where you can monitor him better? That was kind of unfeeling of you.
