Take to the vets or not?

Hi guys!
This is my first post so please forgive me if i post in the wrong place or something! I'm not normally one to debate whether to take one of my cat boys to the vets, however I truly don't know what to do in this instance. I have two four year old moggies, brothers and one of them, Simba has previously needed catheterization for a Urinary blockage in April this year but since then he's been brilliant. I've recently (about 8 weeks ago) had a major routine change and have been out at work an awful lot, and I used to work at home so I'm not seeing the cats as much. Over the past few days, very infrequently, Simba has been showing minor signs of his previous issue, cleaning his privates alot, going in and out of the litter tray without doing anything, not playing. His appetite remains good. The days in-between however, he's been fine, peeing and number twoing normally sleeping in the sun, playing and being very friendly. He's seemingly very happy and being like this today, after being in and out of the litter tray last night and cleaning himself alot. Today it seems he's been to the toilet in both senses just fine! I really don't know what to do, as taking him to the vets is majorly stressful for him, and it might cause an issue if there isn't any! I'm so sorry to go on, but I'm really torn as what to do.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
