Hey, my cat blackie is very sick. She is almost a year old and I can't figure out what's wrong. We have no money to take her to a vet and at this point have no idea why to do. I'm hoping that someone can at least tell me what's wrong with her.

1. Her hair is falling off all over (not really in patches)
2. She's covered in scabs and is clearly itching constantly
3. She seems extremely stressed out, very sparratic behavior even for a cat
4. Increased appetite while losing weight
5. Diarrhea, with horrible smell, and body smells just as bad
6. Consistent but not constant ( once a day or so ) vomiting

Any info is appreciated.

Has she been dewormed? Could be worms which are taking away her nutrients/contributing to weightloss while she compensates by eating a lot.

What does the vet say?  If it was my cat, I'd be at the vet first thing tomorrow.

She really does need to be seen by a vet, no doubt about that.

It might be a couple of issues, but the scabs and hair loss sounds like a bad flea infestation, although it certainly can be other issues, due to malnutrition because of the vomiting and weight loss.

Just work on finding vet care for her, borrow the money or find one where you can make pmts.
