He will have to stay at the Vet's overnight, and we HAVE to go out of town Thursday..
I just can't bring him there tomorrow...pick him up Tuesday and bring him there again on Wednesday.. He's a free spirit, and locking him up at the Vets for over 5 nights with tests is what he faces..
Don't worry...I'm watching him carefully. He's still eating and doesn't ACT sick except for the drinking.
I hear you, and thank you all for your loving concern. Hugs.

Dear spectre,
I lurk here, but actually registered to let you know your kitty already is suffering from the first stages of kidney failure. A raging thirst is a cardinal symptom of this. My kitty, Ti, died from renal failure (associated with old age, tho). If it is acute, then your kitty will be dead in a few days. You need to take him/her to the vet, now. Your choice and your responsibility. If you don't believe us, check the symptoms of kidney failure online.
Best of luck. (PS. None of my cats ever went into the crate without a bloody fight.)
