Improvising a more SS life
I don't know what is going on with my cat. She is 9 years old but has rarely been sick at all. She has been indoors since January and had been fat till about a month ago. The store was out of her normal food so I got her other "crunchies" which she did not seem to like. She'd eat a little then start begging for my husbands food- he's a meat eater. She'd never been a beggar before. We got her normal brand again but she's barely eating and sick. I think listing the symptoms may be easier since I don't want to forget anything and am feeling pretty emotional :
Mid July- tried other brand cat food- she ate a little but usually ignored it. She got meat- cooked- from DH also
she started losing weight within the week but she was fat so I thought it might be better for her health at first.
Start of August- got paid and got her the food she normally likes. Figured she would be back to normal fast.
She recognized the bag and petted it with her face- her normal "Thanks mom- I like this" reaction but barely ate any.
She still has no apparent appetite. We try to give her little treats she likes and she isn't eating almost anything.
She is barely using the litter box but no sign of parasites in there.
She still is laying around all the time. I bought a laser pointer - she loves them and she petted it with her face and laid back down.
My husband told me she was sick to her stomach 2 times last week. Don't know if that was on food or water.
She was acting thirsty today and I made sure she had fresh water. She puked it out as soon as it hit her stomach.
Her pet vaccinations were in January.
We haven't had any big changes around the home.
What could make a kitty drop weight fast, have pretty much no appetite, and not hold her water down even? I don't have any money to take her to a vet with. Any home care tips would be a big help.
