Spooky and the vet,... advice
I know that some of you may know that the commie and I just lost our cat Montana about six weeks ago. He had a massive stroke.
His brother (not biological) Spooky had a bad night last nigh and is still acting a bit odd today. He already has a vet appointment on Monday. Question is: Should I take him today?
Last night he refused food for the first time in his 11 year life. He acted spacey and unsteady and had a small hairball. He crashed out hard. I felt him all over no pain. Everything in the litter box seemed normal.
Today he ate normally and it "normal" waste. He just a little lazy acting. He has been acting a little down since Montana went on to his kitty reward. A new kitten will soon be here though.

1. Lazy or lethargic? There is a difference. Lethargic is something to report to the vet. I call mine

3. You mentioned eating and pooping. How about drinking and peeing?

5. Well as long as you think he is lazy and not lethargic, and he is doing everything
else normally, it sounds like it isn't a rush emergency. BUT I am not a vet. Call your vet just to be sure.

If nothing else it will make you feel better. :)
