what the hell is wrong with you? take him to the vet now, obviously you have the time to ask this question on the internet then obviously you have the time to take him to an emergency vet...

my kitty has been having problems peeing and i noticed recently that he's been peeing out blood. i know he is in pain too because he sits with his leg and tail up and sometimes meows a really deep meow. i've considered UTI and kidney stones, i've bought him some urinary health stuff and a cranberry liquid for cats that's supposed to help him in the mean time but he doesn't like to take them even if i open his mouth to feed him he will spit it out. he doesn't drink much or like wet food. but he loves dry food. i can't take him to the vet until the weekend. what can i do??

There are no two ways about it - your cat needs veterinary care immediately. UTI in a male cat can develop a blockage. Once a blockage occurs, it is only a matter of hours before it is too late. At this point, this is an emergency, and deserves the extra money spent on paging your regular vet to meet at their office, or even going to a emergency clinic. You do not say why you cannot take the cat in until the weekend, I don't know if it is a transportation issue or a money issue, or what. Beg or borrow the money or the car, but please get this cat the veterinary care he needs NOW.

GO TO A VET NOW!!!! Urinating blood is an emergency situation, if you don't see a vet soon your cat will die. I'm not exaggerating, PLEASE ring a vet now!

Do you have an er vet ? This sounds really bad and the kitty may not make it to the weekend.
Look in your phone book and see if you have a 24 hr vet, give them a call and explain the symptons. They can tell you what to do.
