I think my cat may have diarrhea...
Last night my cat kept me up all night. She sat on the floor and meowed (she's a bengal, so it's very loud). I opened the door so she could leave my bedroom and she came in and out but constantly meowing. She wouldn't stay in bed or anything.
I didn't think much of it because recently she hasn't been very good at going to sleep. She's 4 years old and for years she has gone to bed (sleeps in my bed) when I say it's time and stays there most of the night. In the last few months she has started acting up. Won't get in the bed and if she does will get out and play or want to leave the room. Last night was different though. For some reason this morning I checked her litterbox and there is a lot of very soft mounds of #2. There's even little drip marks on the bathroom floor. This is not normal for her at all.
Most people say if cats are sick they get quiet and go off somewhere... is it at all normal for a cat to get very vocal if she's sick? My cat is very vocal all the time, but not normally at bedtime. This literally went on all night long, I got maybe 1 hour of sleep.
Should I take her to the vet? Is there something I can give her for the diarrhea?
