I don't know whats wrong with my cats. Most of the cats that are sick have just been fixed one of the kittens though hasn't been fixed. A few months ago one of my cats started to throw up and he wouldn't eat or drink ANYTHING at all. He's a outside cat and he had just been fixed before he got sick. He went outside one day and never came back. He ALWAYS comes back. Now more of them are sick. One of the cats she's like 3 years old or more then theres another one that is almost a year old then theres 3 kittens. One of the kittens that have it last night he died within hours of all this. This is what happens. They start throwing up they wont eat they wont drink and their lips and gums are a pale color.. Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about this or what it is and what I need to do???????????????? Help!!!!!

Right no time at all, this is obviously contagious to your cats and if your cat died from it there is a high chance the others will too. Get them to a vet right away before its too late, do not think about the bill think about your cats for this moment.
I really hope everything turns out okay, please let me know.
Feel free to email me with any questions at any time, ill be happy to help.
Kindest regards,
Amanda.

pale color means they are probably anemic, that is low oxygen levels in their blood. Sadly, the outside cat probably caught Feline Leukemia, or FIV and spread it to your other cats, extremely contagious. You need to see a vet, if thats the case, any cat that comes into contact with your house will likely catch it. One of the reasons not to let cats outdoors. Outside cats have a life expectancy of 3 years, because of problems such as these.

ARE THEY VACCINATED????
If you have feline distemper in your area and your cats weren't vaccinated, you could loose them all to this disease. Kittens especially are very susceptible. A cat who's had major surgery is going to be susceptible to illness because his immune system is low.
You need to get your pets to the vet--they'll see what's most likely going on and hopefully be able to treat at least the adults.
Feline Leukemia and FIV do not kill that fast (FIV doesn't kill, actually, it weakens the immune system opening them up for other things--but a FIV cat dies 'with' FIV not 'from' FIV, they live up to 15 years with the disease).
You'd be looking for something fast acting like distemper.

If you allow your cats outside, any number of horrid things can kill them. This sounds like poison.
Sick people put out poison if cats bother them. Keep your cats in the house - save their lives.

A months ago would have been the time to take the cat to the vet.

get into your car, and drive to the vet before anything more happens to your cats. the vet knows a lot, go to them and ask for help. they can and will help you, if they can.

are they vaccinated? obviously all of your cats & kittens are getting it so go to the vet before you lose them all! Prepare for a bill.

we cant diagnose them and if you dont take them to a vet they might die. You need to be responsible and help those you have left.
