Good morning, I am the original poster regarding my cat. I'm not sure
I quite follow the issue with "adhesions" and how this could be
related to my cat. Where would the "adhesions" come from? He is
strictly an indoor cat with no prior medical history. Could you
please explain further? Thanks.

Thanks for your very informative answers! I'm definately going to
read up on this some more. I'm sure you've helped more people than
just me.

You´re very welcome! I was impressed to see how common adhesions are. :(

Hi Lynn. Since your cat´s biochemistry seems fine according to blood
and urine panel and the vet couldn´t see his organs as clearly as she
expected in the x-ray, I thought of adhesions. Adhesions can be caused
by previous abdominal surgery (which does not seem to be the case from
you current post) or from some diseases. The ultrasound will show it
if that´s the case.
