My cat is not acting normal?
This morning I noticed my cat was ot acting herself. She was sitting in the bathroom which was unusual and when I pushed her to leave she was hesitant to move. She has not been eating, not taking treats. She just sits in one spot and kind of grumbles to herself. Normally she is outgoing, purring, and jumping up to see me. The stool looks normal, and the food is nothing different than what she has been eating. Do cats have an upset stomache sometimes? She had a lot of little treats yesterday. She is an indoor car, there is nothing that could make her sick. Will this pass or should I take her to the vet? I am only asking this because a vet trip could easily become $300.
The cat is 5 years old, had her vaccinations within the last year and she is spayed. It's just very unusual. I use to work at a kennel and we had this very old, thin cat who did this, and within a couple hours he died. They said he had problems before though, and with his age it was expected. I'll wait until the morning maybe and if she is not better I will make an appointment for after work. The clinics are closed other than the emergency on the other side of the city.
Yeah, I just took her to the vet. They think she has an infection. I am waiting to hear back from the screening, blood, urine, etc.... There goes $600, ugh. Worth it though.

She may have an upset stomach although if her food or nothing has changed i don't know how. Has she got all her vaccinations? If not then she may have caught something no matter if she is an indoor cat. Is she old? Could be her age. Could she be pregnant? If she had moire treats than usual yesterday then this could be why she isnt herself although its not likely. If she gets worse take her to a vet but in the meantime give her fresh water or goats milk. Do not give cow milk to cats or dogs as this isnt good for them in the long term. Good Luck.

She is probably just sick from the little treats if the stool is fine then i doubt its major but keep your eye on her and if she doesnt get better within a day i'd take her to a vet.
