🐱🚨 Signs Your Cat May Be ill

Cats are experts at hiding pain or illness, so subtle changes in behavior or routine can be important clues. Here are signs to watch for:

🍽️ Changes in Eating or Drinking Habits

• Not eating or drinking at all (over 24 hours is a red flag)

• Sudden increase or decrease in appetite or thirst

• Vomiting or diarrhea, especially if frequent or prolonged

😴 Changes in Behavior or Energy

• Lethargy: Sleeping much more than usual or seeming weak

• Hiding more than usual: A common response to pain or discomfort

• Irritability or aggression: Especially if your cat is usually calm

🧼 Grooming & Appearance

• Neglecting grooming: A dull, messy, or greasy coat may signal illness

• Overgrooming a specific area: Could indicate pain, skin problems, or stress

• Hair loss or bald patches

🧻 Litter Box Changes

• Straining to urinate or defecate

• Urinating outside the litter box: May be due to stress, infection, or pain

• Blood in urine or stool
