Why is my cat not peeing?

A cat that cannot urinate may have a blocked urethra, preventing urine from leaving the body.

Common causes include:

  • Crystals or bladder stones
  • Inflammation from Feline Idiopathic Cystitis
  • Mucus plugs
  • Stress-related urinary issues

Male cats are at the highest risk due to their anatomy.
