Cat has sat hunched for a week, not afraid of people, weak, eyes barely open, not eating, skinny to the bone – what could it be?
Not eating and lethargic can mean gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, parasites, or hairballs. See a vet if possible; worms in stool point to parasites needing deworming.
Why does my cat keep vomiting its kibble?
It may be the food (spoiled or low-quality), eating too fast or too much, or disease (gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, panleukopenia, parasites). See a vet if other symptoms appear.
My 3-month-old cat just came home 4 days ago; today it keeps drinking but won’t eat, and tonight had blood in stool and vomited brown fluid.
Blood in stool with brown vomit and no eating may be gastrointestinal bleeding or panleukopenia; an unvaccinated 3-month-old is at high risk. See a vet promptly; this is serious.
For 3 days it hasn’t eaten, drinks very little, and just sleeps. What do I do?
Three days without food usually means illness like FIP, panleukopenia, or pancreatitis; check for fever, pain, urinary block, diarrhea. Long fasting risks fatty liver, so restore eating with palatable foods; if it refuses, get IV fluids.
My cat breathes through its mouth while sleeping, sometimes coughs repeatedly like something is stuck, is lethargic, has poor appetite, sleeps constantly, and has soft diarrhea.
Mouth breathing with cough, diarrhea, and low appetite may signal panleukopenia, acute enteritis, FIP, or rhinotracheitis; mouth breathing means a blocked nose or cardiopulmonary issue. Screen for infectious disease if unvaccinated; if vaccinated, try symptomatic meds.
It used to vomit hairballs occasionally. This time it first vomited something watery, then a few minutes later yellow-green liquid.
Yellow-green vomit may signal acute gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, or coronavirus. Prior hairballs suggest hair-blockage enteritis; see a vet and use antibiotics and probiotics.
My cat ate nothing this morning, then vomited after being fed biscuits at noon, now listless. The vomit was yellow with undigested food. Only vomited once, no diarrhea.
Vomiting and lethargy after biscuits may be acute gastroenteritis from improper feeding, especially after a long fast. Fast and give probiotics; but pancreatitis, foreign body, hairball, or infection are also possible, so see a vet for tests if unsure.
My cat was scared by a dog, feels warm, has poor appetite, and sleeps a lot
Feline panleukopenia is a common and life-threatening disease; treatment focuses on antivirals, symptom relief, antibacterials, and supportive care. If infected, take the cat to a hospital early, as sooner treatment means a better chance of recovery. During treatment, follow the vet's instructions for warmth and nursing care.
Essential Cat Care for Beginners: Deworming and Vaccinations
For a new cat: get a vet check first, prepare supplies, cat-proof the home, and keep it separate from other pets at first. Deworm externally every month, internally monthly under age 1 (then every 3 months), and start vaccines at 3 months with FVRCP plus rabies.
