Norman has a urinary tract obstruction. The vet has tried twice to dislodge it without surgery and is going to try one more time in the morning before doing surgery to remove the obstruction and widen the urethra. Poor kitty.

Try this: Add vitamin C to his food: one 500 mg tablet crushed and mixed with wet food, twice a day. I have raise exotic cats and have had this work on MANY that the vets had given up on. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

If Norman is not able to urinate because of the blockage, you may have to bring him to the vets to have the urine taken out during treatment. But the vitamin C works pretty fast, usually in about 2 days you will see significant improvement, sometimes sooner.

If Norman is not eating, there is injectible vitamin C available but it is for IV use so you will have to have it given at the vets unless you have experience doing so.
