he didn't come home for two days and now he seems to have lost control of his motor skills. he looks really scared and keeps bobbing his head around. he is eating though. I am going to take him to vet tomorrow. He doesn't seem to be in too much pain but he is really freaked out, and has no coordination. He looks kinda like he is going to fall down. Could someone have poisined him?

Oh, do keep a close eye on your cat. Sounds like he got into antifreeze. That is lethal stuff. The smallest amount can cause death. Keep him locked in your room when you go to bed. I had a dog that got loose and ran the town for one afternoon. Came home that night, and started having seizures. He had like 12-14 seizures in less than an hour and a half. We took him to the vet after the second one and it was too late. They couldn't do anything and we had to put him to sleep the next morning. Be very carefull and don't waste any time. Time could kill or save your cat. Good luck.

I have heard a lot of that. When house cat got lost, they come back with this freaking out feeling. I would emagive, if you never get to go out to see the world, then sudden you got out, it must be pretty scary.
I don't think he got poisioned. But mosquito could have bitten him, and he got some kind of worm from mosquito. (My friend cat died from that )
Or he could have just been eating a grass that has some pesticide or some poisionous plant.
I hope your cat will be ok.

I would suspect anti-freeze poisoning or hit by a car.
Watch him closely tonight for signs of rapid degeneration that would require to take him to your closest overnight Animal Emergency Center.
Eating is a good sign...but with the motor/neurological changes, it is best to keep that appointment.

He may have been poisoned or maybe hit by a car or something and has a brain injury. Take him to the vet tomorrow.

If you look at his eyes and the pupils are not even he most likely has a head injury. I would take him to a vet asap!

Cat fight, mean people may have hit him because he was on their property. My sister takes them off and lets them out when they come to her house. Keep your animal close to home. I love animals.
