(Not a Cat Question?)

my tiger cat is sick

Sent to Cat Experts March 16 03:00 PM

my tiger cat is normally perky, eats anything you give to her, and loves to play with the older cat. for the last 1/ 1-2 days, she stays away from people, won’t eat, won’t drink water, having a hard time walking up stairs, and is just not herself. she is almost 2 years old. is this just normal sickness, or should i be more concerned?

  I would be concerned being she's not drinking and will become dehydrated. The fact that she's seems weak and not walking, is a sign that a vet visit is needed so I would take her in today if possible.

  Lethargy can be a sign of dehydration. I would still have your vet look at her. She may be brewing a bladder infection or something else thats causing her discomfort.
