Cat Health

Mary S asked:


My cat is a little over 2 years old. We thought he was acting funny bc of the 4th of July but he’s still acting the same way. I can’t get him to eat anything and as far as I know he won’t drink anything either. He stays hidden behind furniture sleeping all day and won’t come out hardly at all. I can’t even get him to play with his laser light that he loves to play with. Normally he will greet me when I walk in the door and he doesn’t do that anymore. Right now I can’t afford to take him to the vet bc my husband just recently started a truck driving job and I had to quit my job to stay home with our daughter. So right now we are a little low on money. Is there anything I can do or do I definitely need to take him to a vet?
I bought canned cat food for him. He licked the juice then walked off and went back to sleep. Then I was able to get him up again and he ate just a little bit. He acts like he’s weak and he feels warmer than usual.
He is an inside cat. He never goes outside due to the fact that I don’t want him bringing fleas home bc I have another cat.

Our cat had a urinary blockage a few months back and at our vet’s suggestion we purchased Purina One’s Urinary Tract Health Formula. This took care of his strained (sometimes non-existent) urination, but he has now developed fairly frequent diarrhea. He doesn’t exhibit any other signs of distress/illness, so I’m fairly convinced that this isn’t the sign of something more serious. I’m wondering how serious the diarrhea itself is and if there’s anything simple we can do to treat it. I have considered switching the food, which I’ll try after this batch runs out. Thanks in advance!
This isn’t the recalled food. It’s dry food, and to the best of my knowledge, the recall is for wet food only. Plus, the Purina One brand wasn’t affected. Thanks for the answer though.

I have heard that bells are harmful for cats, they disorient them and even can turn them deaf, besides such a permanent close noise being really annoying for an animal whose ears are much more sensitive than ours. Is this true?
