What is wrong with my cat?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern about your cat. Cats can sometimes be hard to read, and I’m here to help you figure out what might be going on.



First, consider any changes in your cat's behavior. Is your cat hiding more than usual, showing a lack of appetite, or acting lethargic? These could be signs of stress, pain, or an underlying health issue. Gastrointestinal issues, dental problems, or infections can all cause these symptoms. Also, have there been any recent changes in your home environment, like new pets or renovations, that could be affecting your cat?



For at-home care, ensure your cat has a quiet, comfortable place to rest and encourage hydration by providing fresh water. You might also try offering small amounts of their favorite foods to stimulate their appetite. Playtime and gentle petting can help alleviate stress, if they’re receptive.



Watch out for signs that might point to more serious concerns, such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, drastic weight loss, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible.



I’d recommend booking a video consultation with Dial A Vet. This will give us a chance to discuss your cat's symptoms in more detail and decide on the best course of action. Take care!
