What happens when a cat is unwell?

A cat that is unwell may show reduced appetite, less activity, and lethargy. If inflammation is high, it may develop a fever, with a dry nose, rapid breathing, and abnormally hot mouth and skin. Gut discomfort can bring vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and a sensitive abdomen.

Also, because cats dislike drinking, they’re prone to urinary tract disease, commonly showing frequent, scanty, urgent, or painful urination. In short, symptoms vary widely by cause; if you notice any abnormality, consult a vet or visit a hospital promptly.
