Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that you're worried about your cat. It's certainly concerning when our furry friends aren't feeling their best. Blockages in cats can occur for a few different reasons, like hairballs, foreign objects, or issues in the digestive tract, and they can indeed cause distress.
If your cat is experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, or trying but unable to go to the bathroom, these could indicate a blockage. However, these signs can also be associated with other health problems, such as infections, inflammatory bowel disease, or even stress.
At home, ensure your cat is well-hydrated and keep an eye on litter box use. Encouraging gentle activity might help if the digestion is simply slow, and providing a little canned pumpkin can assist with motility.
However, if your cat is in visible pain, has a bloated abdomen, or hasn't eaten or used the litter box in over 24 hours, it’s crucial to seek veterinary attention right away, as these can be signs of a more serious issue.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. They can provide a more personalized assessment based on your cat's unique symptoms.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
