Cat Safety: Signs of Illness
What should you look for?
A once-a-year trip to the vet is the best way to identify—and prevent—potential problems. Call or visit your vet if your cat:
- Has a dull or patchy coat
- Is suddenly not grooming himself
- Has not eaten for 24 hours
- Has persistent and severe vomiting
- Has prolonged diarrhea
- Has red or watery eyes
- Has nasal discharge or is sneezing
- Strains to urinate, has bloody urine or frequent urination, is anxious or crying around the litter box
