So, last night, my neutered, 5 year old boy cat just started howling and acting weird. I have 0 idea why. Other than, maybe he saw/smelled another cat last night that set him off? Idk. Has anyone else had this kind of a problem? Should I take him to a vet? He doesn’t seem to have a problem with me touching him anywhere but he’s definitely on edge and being weird/howling. He’s never done anything like this before. Thoughts?

Edit: I have taken him to a vet. We’ll see. Thanks everyone.

Edit 2: urinary blockage. Removing that and getting X-rays. Thanks everyone. Going to be an expensive visit I think.

    Of course it’s good to take him to a vet if you can, just in case.

    But my 1.5yo cat does the same and is also neutered. Before neutering this was everyday and night. After neutering it is sporadic and I think it has to do with my building having two female cats. And this got more intense after I switched him to neutered cat food.

    Also, his brother never had this issue before or after neutering. So I guess he just has a lot of testosterone maybe.
