Answer 5

Sounds like she is sick and needs a vet asap.  If you can not afford it, call the SPCA and let them help you find a vet that may do a discount.  The cat may be suffering or in pain...as a responsible owner, you really should get the cat to a vet asap.

Answer 6

I would wait a week and if she's still the same, check it out. Does she look normal, what are her stools like, maybe she has worms.

Answer 7

How long has it been going on?  Call the vet and describe the symptoms and ask if they think you should bring her in or if it sounds like you could wait over the weekend and see if it passes.  The most important thing to notice is if she's drinking water - if she is, then it probably isn't as serious as her not eating so much/sleeping more than usual.

Good Luck - I love my kitties and know how much it hurts when they aren't well!

Answer 8

take her to the vets to see if she has cought a bug whilst out and about im sure shell be fine after the vet looks at her

good luck!
