What happens when a cat is sick?

Expert Answer

A sick cat may show poor appetite, lethargy, weight loss—symptoms vary by disease. Digestive disease brings vomiting, diarrhea, soft stool; respiratory infection brings sneezing, runny nose/eyes, fever, breathing trouble.

Parasites cause soft stool, weight loss, pale mucous, blood in stool, itching, and hair loss.
