cat urinating everywhere...?
my cat had a heart murmur (irregular heart beat) and the vet said he wouldn't make it through the night but he did. Now he is urinating everywhere. Sometimes its just a little, the next time he is completley soaked in it. What might be wrong with him? Don't tell me too take him to the vet again. I am at the end of the week. I just want more info on what it might be.

There are different stages of heart murmurs, from stage 1, being the least serious to stage 6, being the most serious. Stage 6 is when you can simply put your hand on the side of your cats chest and it feels like his heart is banging on your hand and is going to jump out of his chest. Stage 1 would be having a veterinarian listening with a stethescope for a minute or more and kind of being able to hear an abnormality.
So, that being said, there are also many many different causes of heart murmurs, just like there are many different degrees of heart murmurs. Did your veterinarian do any other diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork, radiographs, echocardiogram, bloodpressure, or ECG. If your veterinarian didn't do these, and didn't even offer them, then I would suggest getting a new veterinarian. Simply saying the cat wouldn't make it through the night without trying to find out why the murmur is there is irresponsible. I would call different vet clinics in the area and try to find one who specializes in cardiology. If you don't want to do that, then there's nothing anyone on this site can do for you. At the absolute least your cat could have a urinary tract infection that has nothing to do with his heart. In this case, you would at least need antibiotics. He could also be blocked, and if left unfixed he will go into renal failure. When a male cat starts to pee in innappropriate places, such as out of his litterbox around the house, if he's peeing a tiny bit each time, then it's a sign that he could be blocked, it hurts him to pee, so he associates it with his litter box and doesn't want to pee in his litterbox anymore.
But regardless of the problem, there's no way to properly diagnose it or treat it without a Veterinarian to examine him.

well i'm not exactly sure what is wrong with your cat but my dog started peeing everywhere and we finally found out she was diabetic. i didn't even know dogs could be diabetic. after you clean up the pee, if there is a sticky residue (hard floor), then that means there is a lot of sugar in it and maybe she does have diabetes. and believe me...that is A TON to deal with
hope i helped a little

There really is no way for someone on this site to diagnose your cat based upon what information you have given or really even at all. I know you don't want to hear this, but you should go to your vet. At least call them and ask a few question. Calling is free advice- its a win win situation.
That being said, your cat could have suffered from bladder damage due to heart problems. Sometimes when one system gets messed up, others do too.
Again, I don't know what the matter is, and no one on this site will be able to diagnose the problem accurately. Even if they say they know for sure, don't believe them. Believe your Vet.
