Suddenly noticed my cat has yellow soft stools today; it didn’t eat anything inappropriate, just dry food, but could it have caught a chill from being taken out yesterday?
Soft stools may be a sign of gut flora imbalance caused by a drop in immunity after being chilled or frightened during the outing. In this case, give the cat some pet probiotics to regulate the gut, and keep it warm with a single, consistent diet. If symptoms persist or worsen, give an appropriate amount of amoxicillin clavulanate and bismuth subcarbonate tablets to reduce inflammation and stop diarrhea. If there's no relief after medication, take it to a vet for a fecal and blood test to check for intestinal parasites or other diseases.
My cat normally runs around at night, but the last two nights she’s been lethargic and has a reduced appetite.

Puppies refuse food due to bad food, pickiness from too many treats, or illness. Persistent loss of appetite needs a vet visit.
My 3-month fold cat keeps meowing; is it sick?
Constant meowing alone does not confirm illness; hunger, cold, or discomfort also cause it. Rule out discomfort with food, warmth, and observation; see a vet if other signs appear.
My cat stopped eating its new food but still drinks and meows
Not eating can come from indigestion, illness, or parasites. Check the body and feel the belly; a swollen belly may mean constipation, so massage and add probiotics and fiber; see a vet if other signs appear.
