My 3 year old kitty won't eat. Last time I know she ate normal was Saturday morning--24 hours ago. I've given her food throughout Saturday and she's ignored it. She ate some Saturday night around 5:30pm but only a little.

We feed her only wet food. This isn't like her.

She seems ok otherwise. I'm planning on calling the vet later....its 3am here. But does anyone have thoughts?

I would see if she'll drink some milk replacer until she can be seen. Like feeding ensure, but for cats. Most cats won't refuse it.

Walmart usually has the hartz version, any pet store should have a few brands to choose from. Look for something labeled "kitten formula", "kitten milk replacer", "KMR". I wouldnt be picky about the brand or whether its lquid or powder, since more than likely you'll just be using it for a couple days.

Ok I'll look for it. We have a walmart but are not near a pet store.

She seemed hungry this morning but then didn't eat. She seemed like she was going to throw up.

I wonder if the vet will see her on a Sunday.

Sigh

Hope the vet can figure out why your cat isn't feeling well
While you're at the vet's office today, it's a good idea to ask how they  handle off hours emergencies should you ever have one. Pets often get sick when the regular vet office is closed
There may be a 24/7 vet ER in the area that you can take your cat to. Here's a directory as well: http://www.veccs.org/index.php?option=com_hospitals&nationid=1&Itemid=193

Had her at the vet. Lungs, heart sound fine. Ears and gums look fine. She felt all around and everything felt fine. No fever. The only thing she heard when she listened to her neck was it was raspy. Took blood. Liver, sugar kidney were fine except one kidney level was almost out of the normal range. They gave her fluids and an antibiotic shot for possible respiratory infection. I brought her home. She ate half her food we had down. Nothing since. I'm hoping she will bounce back. I'm still so worried.
