It sounds like your cat went through a concerning episode where he stayed in one spot for a long time and urinated on himself. This can indeed be alarming and may suggest a few potential issues. Cats sometimes behave this way due to stress, fear, or a medical condition causing discomfort or pain. It's encouraging that he's eating, but the fact that he stayed put and urinated on himself might indicate he was too uncomfortable or scared to move.

Since this behavior was episodic rather than ongoing, it's important to keep a close eye on him for any recurrence or additional symptoms. Here are a few things you might consider:

Firstly, check his environment for any new stressors. This could include new pets, changes in household dynamics, or loud noises that might have triggered his behavior.

Next, ensure he has a safe and comfortable space where he feels secure. Sometimes, providing a quiet area with his favorite toys or bedding can be very helpful.

Continue to monitor his eating and drinking habits. Make sure he has access to fresh water and a balanced diet to maintain his health.

Also, observe him for any other symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, or changes in litter box habits. It's important to watch for diarrhea as well, as it can lead to dehydration.

Finally, if this behavior happens again or if you notice any other unusual behaviors, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
