OOOOPS......if your cat is spraying a lot, then obviously it's not an obstruction.  Sorry about that.  It could still be urinary crystals or an infection, though.  

I would still get your kitty to the vet to be on the safe side.

I agree w/ Sara!  It could also be a urinary blockage (crystals).....especially, if it's a male.  These obstructions can be life threatening in a short time.

Don't mean to scare you, but the cat needs to get to a vet ASAP!

Melly:  I am not one of the resident cat experts but a hard belly is not a good sign.  If it's a male and not neutered, he could be marking territory.  OR it could be a Urinary Tract infection.  Your vet would be the best one to ask.  If it's behavior out of the ordinary, you should consult your vet.
