Hi,
I have only had my cat (Marlowe) 6 months, and I am new to cat ownership, so I would be grateful for some wise words from someone with more experience.
Marlowe is normally lively, but when I came home today he didn't come to greet me, he just sat still. I then served up his dinner, and he still didn't move (he normally runs straight to it).
He walked a little, and his back legs were wobbly. He looked a little drunk! He then just stood there and didn't sit down. I now have him next to me, but he is twitching and is really cold. He even let me touch his stomach which is a sign he must be ill!
My boyfriend gave him worming tablets this morning, so I was worried that was it. He hasn't gone outside, so hasn't fallen, and I don't think he has eaten anything bad. He hasn't vommtted either.
What should I do? He wasn't like this this morning, but I am not sure if he got ill during the day because I only got home a few hours ago.
Grateful for help!
Amanda (and a very poorly Marlowe).
