Sudden bloating in cats can sometimes be caused by dietary changes, consuming something inappropriate, or more serious issues like fluid accumulation or organ problems. While some causes of bloating may resolve on their own, it is crucial to be vigilant to ensure it doesn’t indicate a larger health issue. If the condition persists or worsens, consulting a veterinarian will help determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
