My cat is suddenly hiding and acting lethargic, not eating much. What could be wrong?

[]

Answer

A sudden change in behavior like hiding, lethargy, and decreased appetite in cats can indicate various underlying health issues, from pain or infection to more serious systemic diseases. Cats often try to conceal illness, so these subtle signs can be significant. It's crucial to have your cat examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause. They may recommend diagnostics such as blood work, urinalysis, or imaging to get a clear picture of your cat's health. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
