My kitty is sick. She's older, but not elderly. I've had her through some really tough times and she's been my best buddy. I've had her to the vet, but they aren't sure what's wrong. She was sick a lot the other night and I was awake with her. Now she's just listless and not eating or drinking well. I don't use anything in my home she could have gotten into and she doesn't go outside. Anyway, I'm really worried.

I am so very sorry Luna..I sure hope things turn around for your sick kitty..I know how hard it is to watch them sick and feel helpless...I have dogs so I get how worriesome this is. If you need to vent to someone just send me a message...I totally get it...Love and hugs to your kitty and you...

I hope that everything turns out okay. Maybe she just caught something. My cat was sick like that for a little bit and ended up being okay. He's 13. Maybe your kitty has something wrong with her stomach?

I understand. They mean so much to us. I really hope the kitty can kick this. When my cat was acting off and they thought it was a virus they gave him IV fluids and that really helped. I was amazed. He is well now and I hope your will be too. Hugs to you both.

Hopefully, she will recover soon.

Sending good thoughts.

I agree with LoveAlice, she could have just eaten something that is hurting her tummy.
I pray that she gets better! I have 3 cats and sometimes they act sickly for a few days and get better.
Keep us posted.

I have had cats most of my life, and I understand how they work their way into our hearts. I do hope that your kitty gets better soon.

Gentle hugs for you, and some gentle ear scratches for your cat!

Try taking Gatorade and put it in the freezer till it is almost slushy. When it gets slushy you will have to force feed it to her, it sounds awful I know, but it will keep her hydrated. I did this with my puppy, she was very tiny about the size of a Chihuahua and they were unsure of what was wrong with her, but it kept her hydrated while she was fighting what was bothering her. Since she is not eating if you have tried soft food and she doesn't eat much of that also you can buy the baby kitty milk and mix some for her, she might eat that. If not try baby food, like the oatmeal or rice that you can mix up for babies, that will keep her protein up. Sending lots of healing vibes to your kitty
