We have an eight month old tabby who is usually very active and always excited (except when sleeping!). A couple of weeks ago he threw up often, but we started feeding him less in one feeding and that seemed to take care of the problem. This morning, he threw up twice before we got up, and he sat on a rug all day and only left the spot if someone was bugging him. He would make a uncomforatable meow if anone pet him a couple times. He will not eat at all. This evening we even tried to feed him chicken and chicken broth. he ate a little bit and licked a little bit and then wouldn't eat any more. The back end of his belly (about where the front of his back legs attach) seems bloated. I plan on calling the vet tomorrow, but any clues from anyone? Thanks

I don't know what it could be but has he been using the litter normally, is he at all constapated? The bloating could possibly be signs of a blockage.
It does sound like he does need a vet ASAP!
Sending good vibes to your kitty. Please let us know how it goes at the vet tomorrow.

we changed the litter Sunday night and there seems to be enough stuff for two days. I did see him squat earlier today but didn't really pay attention if he actually went, but I think he did...

He really sounds like he needs a vet pronto. I hope you can make an early morning appointment-
