Hello Kim,
So sorry to hear about your cat. I had a puppy that did the same thing and it passed away sad to say and I took it to vet for an autopsy because I thought it might have been from shots it had currently received but found out that the puppy had gotten into some type of poison whether mouse or rat poison or antifreeze being licked of off the driveway or somewhere else. I would get to vet right away and do not wait they may be able to find the cause with a simple blood test. Good Luck and I will pray for you and Jade. God Bless

With symptoms like you describe, you shouldn't wait a few days. Take her to the Vet now. Call your Vet back. Describe to the Dr. or Assistant what you describe here. The Dr. should be able to see your cat on a emergency visit. Vets offices allow for this or will fit them in between visits some how. If you can't get your cat to your regular Vet, most cities now days have an "Urgent Care", or, "Emergency Care" clinic for animals. Please do this immediately. Like RIGHT NOW! I'm sorry to say.... this could be a fatal mistake if you don't. Then you will have the sorrow of losing your precious pet and friend that is part of your family. You don't want this I am sure. I wish you and your kitty the best of luck.

I would consult the Vet or assistant immediatley to get her in sooner! A change in behavior or eating issues is a result of illness! If she is having accidents out of her litterbox it may be due to a UTI... in some cases cats associate the litter box with pain and go elsewhere when they have a UTI! Get her to the animal hospital or Veterinary Clinic immediatley! Some things arent worth waiting for! I can reassure you if you explain the situation to your vet they will squeeze her in today! A UTI can be a serious issue! Not to mention other issues may be present! Help ease her pain by taking her in today to avoid further dehydration!

Honey, your cat cannot wait "a few days." You need to take her now. In a few days, she could be dead. I don't want to alarm you but a cat that is so weak that she cannot stand or go to the litter box and has completely lost her appetite is a seriously sick cat. The vet can tell you what her disease is but we here can certainly tell you that your cat is VERY SICK.

Take her to the vet NOW. This is an emergency. tell your vet or parents that it has to be done ASAP, or it may be too late. And give her some water with a dyringe (without the needle. But she will need an IV, for better hydration.

Try to get the cat in to see the vet immediately. A few days may be too late.

This is definitely the sign of illness. I'd call the vet, describe the symptoms and ask if you could bring her in as an emergency. If she's unable to drink, she's getting dehyradated. This needs to be taken care of fast.

Take her to the Vet as an emergency case, or the cat might die either from the disease or from dehydration.

Don't wait a few days. Take her to the vet now. If you can't get an earlier appointment, take her to an emergency clinic.
This is not normal behaviour.

in a few days? Your cat probably will not make it a few days with out medical attention. Take her to the vet NOW.
