my cat has been puking and holding his tail up away from his butt. he is
eating and drinking but i did notice his stomach tensing up like it’s upset.
do you think he might have a upset stomach? he did eat a love bug last
nite, but he’s eaten those before and nothing happened.

It sounds like your cat may have either a urinary or a colon blockage problem. Neither is good, but the urinary blockage can be fatal. Please take your cat to a local vet immediately, as if he has a urinary blockage, the longer you wait, the more critical it becomes.

Sure, it might be nothing, but what if…..?
I highly recommend you quit wasting time and get this cat seen by a vet ASAP, as this could potentially be bad, and the longer you wait, the worse the condition might get.
Sometimes when a cat holds his tail this way and seems to have a tense abdomen they are constipated or have bladder problems, or even problems with their anal glands. A visit to a local vet is a good idea, maybe an x ray to see if there is constipation too.

Your cat is probably experiencing urinary blockage from Feline Urological Syndrome. Get him to the Veterinarian immediately. This can be life threatening!
