I know I said I'd be gone for a little while but this is really worrying me and don't know who to ask for advice..... Clicquot hasn't left the house for 3 days and does nothing but sleep day and night and its not like her..... see below, I'll log back on in a couple of hours to see if anyone can help!

the door is open, but she isn't interested........ she wasn't eating properly, so i went and bought her fav thai chicken fillets and she has wolfed those down but I can't persuade her off the bed!! Her fur is matting at an exceptional rate even tho I am brushing her daily, she lets me stroke her but hardly moves when I stop which trust me goes against everything she stands for... normally she is headbutting my hand for more attention............ She hasn't had a bowel movement for 2 days although she is peeing, she did catch a mouse last time she was out, so could it just be an upset tummy? Any thing else I should be looking for? I couldn't cope with losing her too!!

Diana she really is not well.I would take her to the vets tomorrow if not better.Fingers crossed she might be brighter. Annie

Hi Diana I always think if you arn't too sure & their behavior seems out of the ordinary its best getting em checked at the vet, Many the time I.ve been to the vet with unspecific feelings that things are a bit odd and my vet has been only to happy to double check Our last visit revealed for one of our cats that we were right and there was a problem,so I would take clicquot just to set your mind at rest.

Diana, I'm not a cat person so can only say as Anne has, get her to the vets tomorrow. Thinking of you, Love Viv. xxx

diana, take her to the vets tomoro, something is obviously not right with her. let us know how you get on. jean

Hi Diana, If she hasent moved her bowels it could be fur in the bowel,I have had this with one of my cats. A trip to the vet is a must,I do hope she is ok,keep us informed. Roxanne x

I hope shes ok Diana, I always thought she was a dog then I thought dogs dont eat mice! Caz xxxxxxxx

Hi Pink, is she cleaning herself? One of our brood was displaying similar symptoms a year or so ago (apart from catching a mouse), he also didn't bother cleaning himself, so we took him to the vets. It turned out, in Midge's case, that he'd caught a virus. The vet gave us some medication to give him (can't remember if it was antibio's or not), and within a couple of days he started to perk up again. If she hasn't had a bowel movement for several days, the vet needs to see her ASAP. Good luck. x

Yeah she's grooming herself..... will take her in the morning just in case and will let ya know what they say!! Thanks everyone. xx

All the best for you and Clicquot tomorrow and that she will soon be in the 'pink', pardon the Pun. love Sunny

Sunny, that was terrible! lol Will wait to hear how missie is tomorrow, Diana. Good luck. xx

Hi Our cat (aged 12) started to lose his appetite and subsequently lost weight. Fur went all scruffy and matted. He looked like an abandoned cat rather than a well loved pet. Blood test showed he has Hyperthyroidism (common in older cats). On meds for life but looks like a new cat now. Sue xx

hope all is well hun Luv Jan xx

our dog gets like that laying there hardly moving, usually its down to stiff ness in her joints shes quiet normally though, she too had trouble with her not going out the garden when she did she cried horrible , we gave her weetabix, to help that area, took few days but she did perk up hope alls well soon and sure the vet will reasure you tomorro
