constaped cat

Question
My Cat is having a problem going to the bathroom . It looks like he is trying to have a bow movement but nothing happens . He keep trying and licks himself  . Is there anything I can do to help him ?  

Answer
Hi Donald!
I may be wrong, but I bet he is trying to pee and can't. Male cats get "stopped up" and it is very dangerous. If he cannot urinate, it gets very painful and uncomfortable for him. This will not get better on its own. You need to take him to a Vet before he gets completely stopped up. It can be fatal if it gets really bad.  As I said, I may be wrong, but when a male cat goes to the litter box frequently and strains, and licks himself a lot, then it is usually a urinary tract infection or bladder infection. Please take him to the Vet as soon as possible.
I'm not trying to scare you, but this will only get worse.

God Bless,
