My little Stanley cat is very sick. I'm taking him to the vet in the morning to see what's wrong. I know he doesn't have any of the contageious feline illnesses, but there is something wrong. He won't eat, and he acts like an old man, and he's only 2. He's losing weight, and I'm really worried. He usually goes crazy when I get Filet of fish sandwiches, but he wouldn't even take a bite of the fish. I opened some human tuna, to see if he'd want that, and he wouldn't eat it, either. I'm thinking he may have a hairball blockage, but I don't know. Anyway, please give me some board magic for my little boy.

I'm sorry, Hope!
I'll say a prayer for Stanley.

Is there any way you can get him to the vet today?

I wish I could, but I have to work tonight. I am very worried. He's a Persian, and I know Persians have lots of hairball problems. He did drink some water, but that's all. He won't eat, and he's so picky anyway about food, that he simply can't afford to go without food. I feed him hairball formula food, but I just don't know... He hasn't been himself, and when he refused the fish, I KNEW there was something really wrong.

Aww poor Stanley. I'm rooting for him! How long has this been going on? Is it just since you got the new kitty? Or longer?

Praying for Stanley to get well soon!!

My mom had a young cat that would stop eating whenever he was sick. He had been bitten on his spine (most likely by another cat) and she did not discover it until the wound became infected. She had to give him courses of antibiotics as he would get better and than recurr. He turned out to be diabetic. . . . which wasn't discovered until it was too late . . . when she took him to another vet.

I also had a cat when I was growing up that stopped eating. . . . because she was bitten on the spine. . . and another because he had bad teeth.

I guess when they stop eating, they are trying to tell you something.

Good luck with the vet visit.

Laurie
