So theres something wrong with my cat and i thought I'd ask here as we're unable to afford to take him to the vet right now as we just took our dog and are expecting... but starting about a week ago my male cat started to refuse to use the litterbox. Could have been from different litter, a new spot, or the fact that we moved to a new house.. hes been experiencing alot of change (our other female cat is fine with using litter box) So i went and bought the cat litter that he is used to (after him pooping 3 x and peeing 2 x out of litter box) He goes in the litterbox now ONLY if I bring him there and put him in it.. The first night after changing litter I put him in there and he peed and pooped right away. next 2 days only peed ( woke up to a poo on the carpet) -Why will my cat only go if I take him there?
He also had been vomiting this white foam/yellow vomit the past maybe 4 days.. Thursday morning both of my cats threw up this white foam.. then Thursday around 6 pm I brought him to the litterbox and he literally had liquid poop.. it was like it was pee but was his poop.. he hasn't pooped since..
Does anyone know what could be wrong? The food they have now I believe is friskas.. they normally eat whiskas..
and the occasional soft food they eat is normally friskas brand.. but at the moment I bought "special kitty" Witch I havnt gave for a few days now with them being sick...


any suggestions? :(

If you really can't afford a vet then the first thing to do is immediately switch him back to his original food. There are other things you can try but they wouldn't be appropriate without a vet ruling out other medical causes.
