Yes indeed. Could be stopped up, could be sick in another way. Doc needs to see kitty.

When one of my cats stopped eating, the vet gave me some appetite stimulant and said to try feeding him some bland cooked turkey or chicken. The turkey/chicken worked and I was able to get him back on cat food.

I didn't notice if he had stopped drinking too.

Take your cat to an emergency vet immediately.

Yes, immediately. They can lose too much weight way too fast.

Any poo and pee where it is not supposed to be is a Big Red Flag something is going on that requires the attention of the Vet.

Same with my cat who has a leukemia sort of cancer and more problems too. He is only 10. His meowing is heart breaking,
My vet said that his time is near. Won't eat anything now but meows for food.


Entyce and mirtazipine are 2 appetite stimulants from vets. Mirtazipine is used by people for depression. It takes several days to work...on and off.

Yeah, I'm so sorry. If he's in pain I would need to let him go even though it's the most difficult thing in the world to do.
