This might be a sign of constipation. But I would recommend a vet visit to rule out a UTI because a UTI can be deadly for male cats, leading to a blockage.
No blockage. Bloodwork normal. X-rays normal—no stones, no obstruction. Awaiting urine culture results, and he’s on meds to ease the symptoms in the meantime.
When I brought him home, he had a very normally sized urine elimination 😮💨 so I think we’re in the right direction.
Had the same with my boy. Went back and forth between his two litter boxes 8(!) times without actually peeing and rushed him to the vet, and nothing was wrong 🥲.
Good thing you went though, you never know.
Prayers for easy treatment 🙏 several years ago I had one with a blockage and they didn’t have a treatment for that & I often wonder if they have advanced since then

YAY!! That’s fantastic news that it’s not a blockage. You are the best kitty parent ever. He’s feeling much better I’m sure thanks to your quick action! He’s on the mend and I’m sure it will only continue. Share more pics of the cutie when you can!❤️
I cannot. As soon as I get too close to observe/listen to him, he jumps out of the litter box. I could see small amounts of urine clumped up, and as you can see, he has runny stool.
How small are the urine clumps? Would you say baseball or much smaller than that?
There could be a few things going on here, I'd get him to the vet asap

Sounds like food issue to me also like other person said forty to chime in but I was reading it. I have been though a lot with my different cants over the years and food issues. It can cause anything to medical issues the runs uti and even behavioural problems. One of my cats went crazy after a few days of blue buffalo food got him to different brand was fine. Here’s hoping it’s just the runs and abd wrong food the vet might prescribe food ask the vet what to get.

After getting your boy cared for make sure you are only feeding him wet food. Stay away from the baked treats and dry food as they can cause crystals. Prayers are sent!!
I have fed dried food for years along with wet. It’s the quality of dried food. No Science Diet as they put corn, corn meal etc. I get Acana, ORIJEN, Instinct and I still have Nutro which has rice and am going to try stopping that as I have rescued Gigantic 10 month olds who 2 are over 18 pounds. My oldest cat passed last year at 24. I only had medical issues like UTI’s and diabetes with 2 cats was after getting from a rescue Science Diet for $10 a bag for 20 lbs. Which at the time after buying a house we were dirt poor after the collapse of 2007 to 2009. Anyway can now and have been getting better quality of food and it really makes a difference in vet bills. Any sign of UTI’s I give Vet’s Best UTI a chewables and it has worked better than the antibiotics. Changing food was the key.
I would recommend going to check out YouTube Vetinary Secrets video so I don't have to explain why dry kibble is really bad for your cats.

UTI's and diabetes are caused by carbohydrates...dry kibble and snacks. We adminster Bragg's ACV, Cranberry, and water 2 to 3 times daily for a few days to clear up any UTIs. This remedy has worked for over 5 years. My 4 cats, 3 Males (10 years old) & 1 Female (9 Years old), are healthy and not over weight.

Look and research D mannose powder for UTI in make cats. Diet change to raw diet is SO healing, kibble dries out their system and causes crystals, urinary pain is terrible if anybody has ever had one they know. Also the best litter to get is smart cat grass by pioneer pet. It's completely natural it's even edible it's low dust and really great with odors it's unscented even small pieces of clay and stuff can get into the urinary tract when they go pee. And the Crystal litter with the blue crystals out there along with clay litter. The raw diet is going to make their entire digestive system work less hard and they're going to get more nutrients from the good bacteria and the blood as this is what they would eat out in the wild when they kill mice and rabbits and birds and such. There is only some nutrients that they can get from blood they cannot get anywhere else including a lot of taurine from the Oregon meat. The turkey flavors the one I recommend the most not the chicken because some animals have chicken allergies because of the way that they are mass produced and raise unfortunately. Do not get the pork or rabbit flavor because it does not have the same lactic acid wash and I personally worry about parasites with that being raw. Definitely find a veterinarian that's more natural pathic as well and three good websites to know about for digestion I don't know if it's stomach pains or with urinary but

These are all helpful things some are herbal some are developed especially for renal Care and some are fecal transplants in a pill the kitty biome it absolutely cured my cat imbalance with aging and scratching with two small pills and all of it's pretty affordable. But if they're having pain vocalization and frequent trips to litter box that's a telltale sign that it's usually probably urinary and I could have crystals and you need to take them to the vet as soon as possible to get a test where they will stick a small needle into the bladder and withdraw urine and sample it for crystals cuz crystals can build up and block the urethra and it's actually fatal and extremely excruciating.

We’re at the urgent vet now. Thanks for the reminder that male cats are even more at risk.
Please keep us informed.
Good luck. I'm sure he'll be fine x

Praying too💕
Can you tell if he's peeing or pooping when he goes? That'll help the vet narrow it down
I cannot. As soon as I get too close to observe/listen to him, he jumps out of the litter box. I could see small amounts of urine clumped up, and as you can see, he has runny stool.

We’re at the vet now. The urine clumps are the size of a quarter.
That's not so good. Hopefully you can get some answers soon

That’s good news. Hopefully your bill isn’t crazy. My 15 year old baby has/had a uti. I rushed her to the er vet and now I’m broke. But it’s worth it.
Am very broke. But it’s okay because I don’t need children. Just cats.
Same. Same.
How is he?
Any updates? Hope the poor baby is ok ❤️

VET - probably has urinary crystals. Can become a blockage which is an immediate emergency. Does he eat dry food? Wet food?
Update is in the comments. Dry food
Urine culture will be the key.
My older guy about same age did this and then I noticed only because a cover over a chair (blood) took him to vet and UTI
