Cat rectal discharge

I have a 5yo male nutered cat who never goes outside. Today I have noticed a milky liquid dripping from his rectum. At first I thought it was worms which my dog had not too long ago but turned out to be a liquid. I know alot about dogs but not much about cats. Can you take a guess at what this may be? Were going to the vet tomorrow morning but I am very worried tonight.
Thank you for your time ...KK

Ooooh! Impacted anal sacs. Gotcha. That would be very a disturbing thing to hear. :)

fortunately it usually isn't serious, although it still sounds very disturbing. In the future, if you see him "scooting", it's a warning sign of that.

Thank you for both responses. Turns out my cat needed his sacks squeezed (?) and he had a few worms. I need to learn more about cats I guess. Seems this was no big deal.
Thanks again to both of you.

It sounds like a classic UTI. Hopefully your vet gave you a simple antibiotic course for treatment. :)

Hmm, I really don't know what that could be. It's good you are going to the vet tomorrow. The only thing I can think of is that it's maybe some waste of some sort but the vet will let you know for sure. Try not to worry too much about it.
