Cat Has Poor Appetite and Weak Limbs; Touching Its Belly Causes Visible Pain
Many causes for poor appetite with obvious abdominal pain; see a vet promptly. A cat in pain lies prone, arches its back, is listless, cries softly, and shies away from touch. Causes include enteritis, pancreatitis, peritonitis, intussusception, FIP, and intestinal tumors. Get checked.

Is a Cat in Heat in Pain When It Won’t Stop Meowing? How to Soothe It
A cat that yowls through heat is genuinely uncomfortable, though not in physical pain—hormone swings bring anxiety and a strong drive to mate, and the loud calls are an instinct to attract distant partners. You can't switch it off, but play, pheromones, warmth, and a calm dim space ease the distress. Spaying is the only lasting cure.
My pregnant cat had diarrhea, then a new puppy arrived, and now she won’t eat, is in pain, and can’t sit — what’s wrong?
Your cat's diarrhea and abdominal pain are most likely caused by a gastrointestinal problem rather than the pregnancy itself, possibly from indigestion, improper diet, or stress. Because miscarriage or difficult labor cannot be ruled out, she should be seen by a veterinarian promptly.
