Answer

A sudden change in behavior, lethargy, and anorexia in cats can be indicative of many underlying issues, from pain and organ dysfunction to infectious diseases or even stress. Cats are masters at hiding illness, so when symptoms become apparent, it often warrants prompt attention. It's important to observe for other signs like vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or changes in urination. A physical examination, including checking vital signs, abdominal palpation, and potentially blood tests, will be crucial to determine the cause and initiate appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
