Hi!
I live with my aunt and uncle and they have four indoor cats. The youngest one, a tuxedo cat named kazoo, is around a year old I would say and he is neutered. We got him from a neighbor when he was around 6 months. He is usually a very active, very playful cat who spends just a pinch of his time being cuddly. For the past 5 days he has had a wet nose and has been a little lethargic, I noticed and brought it up to my aunt and uncle and they brushed it off as a little cold. In the past two days I have also notice him drooling almost nonstop, he has really bad breath and he has also been spending 60% of the day sleeping in my room. He seems to want to eat, we feed all the cats dry food, but when I put food down he sniffs it and then looks back up at me or walks away. He has even tried to get into the cat food bin so I know he is hungry. I noticed he hadn't eaten in two days so I took out a can of wet food and he scarfed it down really quickly and wanted more. I told my aunt and uncle this and they responded about the drooling with "he probably ate a poisoned bug" and to him not eating with "oh no he has been eating" but the problem is we have three other cats and they eat out of his bowl constantly, and then they went on to say kazoo had tricked me into feeding him wet food. I'm concerned that something is wrong and my aunt and uncle just don't see it and when I bring it up they pretty much ignore it. He has never had any other health issues except that he passes really smelly gas several times a day. I would really appreciate feedback. I'm worried something is really wrong with him.I am more than willing to give more information if it would help.
