Emergency situation?

Do not waste time reading if the animal is not breathing or unconscious. Call a vet immediately.

CRITICAL

Refusing Food and Water

If an adult cat has not eaten normally for about 24 hours, and even much less time for a kitten, this is already a reason for an urgent visit.

Cats that stop eating quickly develop an increased risk of fatty liver disease (hepatic lipidosis).
Dry or pale gums, weakness, sunken eyes, infrequent urination, or refusal to drink make the situation even more urgent.

Not a substitute for a vet
