It'll be okay anon, I know you're worried and I'm sure your furred friend senses that, but he doesn't have the same concept of life and death as you and as such needs you to help make both of your lives more fulfilling. Go outside, get some fresh air, look at all the life around you, then go give your cat some love. He's happy to have a companion. I'm allergic personally, and dogs are my furred bros more often than not, so here's one that makes me happy.

Maybe his diet is causing problems? What do you feed him?

This and Sheba delicacies twice a day, we've tried giving him better wet food, but him and our other cat don't like it as much as sheba. We steer clear of anything with cereals and veggies. We'll see what the vet concludes, I guess, but I think if it's something he ate we must have dropped it on the floor or something. He's quite a little retard, he chews on anything, have to hide all cables and such.

If he's at the vet, he'll be okay.

Had this happen with one of my cats recently, but mine had a sinus infection/severe congestion and could not smell his food, so he wouldn't eat.

They sent me home with an appetite stimulant, a decongestant and some antibiotics and my boy is good as new.

Have they checked his kidneys? Could be some sort of renal problem.

Good to hear, man! I don't know everything they've checked since they've only contacted us once since we left him there but as far as I know they've drawn blood, x-rayed him and they were going to do an ultra sound. They hadn't found anything wrong except for constipation when we heard from them earlier today

I've seen the combination of lentils, high quality meat content, and lack of moisture in Orijen kibble cause elimination problems in cats. If nothing's coming out, your cat's body is going to tell it to not eat more and back everything up further. It's definitely one of the best kibbles out there, but that doesn't mean it won't ever cause issues. Have you been feeding it for long? It might help to increase the proportion of wet food for awhile until you cat seems to be doing better.

All dry kibble regardless of quality can cause kidney stones or UTIs, apparently almost exclusively in male cats. Not sure why, but possibly because their urethra is longer because penis?

I had a 'crystal' that didn't show up on any tests but by the blood and pain that's what the ER told me I probably passed. It was the most agonizing thing I have ever gone through so now I rate my pain levels to 1-kidney stone.

I feed my male and female cat a mix of dry and wet. They get a cup of high quality kibble and a can of wet food that varies from shit to good each. So far so good with 16 years on female cat and seven years on male cat.
