I have a male cat who is about 8-9 months old. Recently, in the last month, I've noticed my bed sheets smelling like cat urine. It's in the areas he usually sleeps. My cat also smells like urine sometimes. He's not neutered, so my first thought was that he was spraying. But, I have not yet seen him spray. And the strong urine smell is on a flat surface, not a vertical surface.
I took him to get him neutered a couple weeks ago, but the vet couldn't do it because he took my cat's tempurature and he had a fever (103). I also told the vet how my cat sneezes every now and then. (I assumed it was allergies). My cat also eats good, so I didn't know why he would have a fever. Anyway, the vet told me to come back in a couple weeks and they would check him out again.
So, last week I brought my cat in and he still has the fever. The vet told me to wait again on the neutering, and he gave my cat a couple antibiotic shots and allergy shots. He also gave me amoxicillan to give to my cat morning and night for two weeks.
So, I've been doing this for a few days now.
I'm wondering if the urine smell problem is related to his fever. Like I said, I've never actually seen my cat spray, it just smells really strong where he lays (and he himself smells). Is he spraying and I'm just not catching it, or could it be he has a urinary tract infection that's causing the smell (and also the fever)? If so, will the antibiotics clear it up? I noticed the smell again today. I've been giving my cat the antibiotics for about 5 days now.
