In this cat lady vlog, I’m taking you with me through a really stressful couple of days because I noticed Loki was peeing way more often than normal—tiny amounts, frequent trips, and even some discoloration that made me suspect blood. I called the vet, they had a cancellation, and I wanted to film this because urinary issues (especially in male cats) can be super painful and can even become deadly if it’s actually a blockage. I also share the common UTI/urinary problem symptoms to watch for, and why you shouldn’t “wait and see” if your cat is straining or vocalizing. At the appointment, they couldn’t get a urine sample because his bladder was empty (because he’d been peeing so much), but we still started treatment: antibiotics twice a day for two weeks, and pain meds for the first few days. I’m also fully transparent about the vet bill and how my Banfield plan affected the cost. And yes—I talk about the parts of the visit that rubbed me the wrong way, because I think it matters to advocate for your cat. Then I show exactly how I give Loki his meds (including my “churu is basically crack for cats” trick), plus a little “fun surprise” at home to help balance out the negative vet association. Quick update: after about two days on antibiotics, his peeing routine was basically back to normal, and he’s doing a lot better.
