I have a cat called Gerorge and for the last couple of days he's not been so well. We've had him about a year/and a half, he was a stray cat but had already been fixed. We think he's quite a young cat, likes to play, jump around etc. We do have another cat which was stray and we've had her around 5 years. Both cats go out at night times which is uaually around 12am and they get back in around 7-8am
But yesterday he didn't eat anything at all, I even did him some chicken and he didn't even eat that! But he was still walking around but seemed a bit unsettled at the night time, running to different spots to sleep.
But today he wasn't waiting at the back door like he usually is and didn't turn up until a few hours later (I didn't see). But dad said he was running in (like he normally does) but he still hasn't eaten/drinen anything and he's lying on the coffee table next to the radiator and isn't moving alot. To me, he feels a little stiffer than he usually does, and mum said she tried to stand him up but he wouldn't use his legs. His tails wagging and he moves a little like curls himself around a bit with his head back (like cats do) and he's stretch his back legs/toes out. He's just not been eating or moving around.
Now, last night there was this clear spit looking sick/thing in our passageway and we assumed it was our other cat because she's gagged early that night and I had put her out for a while, but now we're thinking maybe it was George.
Has anyone any ideas on what could be wrong? He's no cuts, no broken bones etc. Though the day before yesterday I'd put the cats out like I usually do but shortly after fireworks had started, it was only for 5 minutes and they were fairly loud, so I'm not sure if he's in shock or something from them, or maybe he's eaten something he shouldn't have? Oh, we put food out for the birds, we'd put some cheese and bread out and then we put some packet mash out for them too, but George didn't like the mash so I don't think that could have been it =S
If he's no better by tommorow we're going to phone the vet, for now we're letting him sleep because that seems to be all that he wants to do, so maybe he'll sleep it of or somthing
