Someone asked a question on there 3 days ago. "My cat can't pee" saying the cat has been trying for 24 hours but can't pee. Any ideas or is vet the only option?
Surely common sense should tell them how dangerous the situation is.
How stupid can people get - it's beyond me. Luckily this time there was some good advice on there. Let's hope they got poor kitty to the vet.

Mark, you would think common sense would tell them it was dangerous, but sadly not everyone thinks like that. I do hope they have got them to the vet quickly enough, my vet had to pts a 12/14 month old last year cos the owner had left it a day too late.

Well the answer below was chosen as "Best Answer - Chosen By Voters - lets hope the advice was follwed and pronto :Luv:
Yes - take him to the vet asap.
It's probably cystitis and the poor thing has crystals in the bladder making it very painful and almost impossible to pee
It can die if not treated soon immediately as the bladder is blocked
I hope you have already taken him....

Yes but if the asker is a stupid as most of the people that answer, god knows what might happen.
Rub their nose in it & kick them out? :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
I just saw another question about spraying. The question is closed so I can't add anything. Luckily there are some sensible answers but there were 2 really stupid ones
A) That is the grossest smell ever. Time to take the cat to the shelter. >:(
A) the sad thing is i don't think you can stop her. your poor house will eventually reek of cat pee and that is just awful. i think it may be time to ? >:( >:(

I am sure you are right, but it is necessary to respond just in case it is genuine, at least someone may learn something if a sensible answer is given.
