If the cat's ureter is obstructed, there is no place for the urine generated by the kidneys to go. As the pressure on the kidneys and bladder increases, one of two things could happen: some part of the system could rupture, causing internal bleeding, or the kidneys could fail, causing the cat to be poisoned by his own waste products.
Unspecified obstruction of the renal pelvis and ureter means some unknown substance or growth is blocking the outflow of urine from that kidney.
I'm thinking you must be talking about a condition called hydroureter, meaning distention of the ureter with fluid. This is caused by an obstruction of the ureter (the duct between the kidney and the bladder). Several things can cause this obstruction. The most common is kidney stones. These accretions of salts form in the kidney. When the body tries to pass them, they must go through the ureter, which is very narrow, not made for passing solids. So they get stuck, and fluid (urine) builds up behind the obstruction, distending the ureter like a balloon. Once the stone passes and the obstruction is relieved, the ureter returns to normal size. Hydroureter can be dangerous in that excessive back pressure can damage the kidney, which can occur if the obstruction persists.
The ureter is a tube connected to the kidneys and bladder in cats. The function of the ureter is to move urine to the bladder.

The medical term for ureter dilation is hydroureter. This condition refers to the abnormal widening of the ureter, typically due to blockage or obstruction. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause to relieve the dilation.
the cat might not feel comfortable or not sure what he or she is supposed to do. also there might just be an obstruction that doesn't bother you but does bother the cat. that happened with my cat.
no! a cat may kill a buzzard ..ALSO A FOX CANT KILL A HEALTHY CAT
depends on what the cat is killing, it can kill a mouse, but it can't kill an elephant
It is passable to kill a cat in the right situation.
Ureteric obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This blockage can be caused by kidney stones, tumors, or other conditions, and can lead to symptoms such as pain, urinary frequency, and kidney damage if not treated. Treatment can include medications, procedures to remove the blockage, or surgery.
A stoat could kill a cat if it is stronger than the cat. If a stoat has a disease and bites the cat or causes injury, it could kill the cat. Otherwise a cat will usually be able to defend itself from a stoat.
Into the ureter.
