My 5 month old cat wont eat and is just lying about the house. He looks listless and doesnt want to play. When he goes to the littler box, he seems to have some diarrhea. Will this pass or should I take him in to the Vet?

Well that doesn't sound very good. "Listless", 'won't eat' and "doesn't want to play" are some of the ways your kitten let's you know something is wrong.
Try checking his vitals signs. Pay particular attention to body temperature, color and hydration.

Call your vet and describe what you are observing. Could be any number of things.

Anytime a cat stops eating it is passed time to take him to the Vets. When a cat stops eating he is very sick.

You are mentioning very serious symptoms for a young kitten. He really needs to see a vet TODAY to find out what is going on.

I would take him to the vet, usually kittens are very playful... the diarrhea isn't a positive thing either... it would be safe to have him checked out!

take him to the vet as soon as possible. the symptoms that you have described are not normal or good for any animal but especially not good for a kitten.

Definitely take him in.
My kitten was acting like that and it ended up being the kitty flu and she needed anibiotics.
