Plain-English summary
An 8-month-old male mixed breed domestic shorthaired cat was brought to the vet because he was very lethargic and not eating. He was hospitalized for two days but did not urinate at all during that time. On the second day, another cat from the same home showed similar symptoms and was also brought in. Sadly, both cats passed away shortly after being hospitalized, and there was no clear cause found, as they had not been exposed to any medications or outside environments.

Abstract
This 8-month-old, male, mixed breed domestic shorthaired cat had a recent history of acute apathy and anorexia. It remained under hospital care for two days, during which it did not produce any urine. On the second day of hospitalization, another cat from the same household was brought in with similar clinical signs. These cats did not have any history of recent ingestion of antibiotics or other medication. Furthermore, they did not have any street or yard access since they were kept in an apartment. Both cats died spontaneously after a brief hospitalization period.
