How can I tell if my cat is sick

Sure! Here are eight different ways to tell if your cat might be sick:

**Change in Appetite**: If your cat suddenly stops eating or drinking, that’s definitely a red flag.

**Lethargy**: If your usually playful kitty is just lounging around all day and seems less active, it could be a sign something's off.

**Vomiting or Diarrhea**: Occasional hairballs are normal, but if your cat is throwing up or has runny poop frequently, it’s time to pay attention.

**Hiding**: Cats love to chill in their favorite spots, but if yours is hiding away more than usual, it might be feeling unwell.

**Changes in Grooming**: If your cat isn’t grooming itself like it usually does or has matted fur, it could be a sign of illness.

**Behavior Changes**: If your cat is more irritable or aggressive than usual, or if it seems anxious, it might be feeling sick.

**Weight Loss**: Keep an eye on your cat's weight. If it’s losing weight without any changes in diet or activity, that’s concerning.
