Why is my cat not eating, drinking, sleeping, and getting skinny?

Question

My 4 year old male cat has been acting real strange. He's not eating, drinking ANYTHING for 5 days already, he sleeps all the time and getting skinny

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Your cat sounds very ill! It's quite serious when a cat doesn't eat for more than three days, as it makes them prone to developing a fatty liver. It's also serious he isn't drinking water, he is likely dehydrated. You need to take him into a vet immediately. He needs IV fluids, and any other treatment the vet deems necessary. He could have a severe systemic illness or organ disease causing these symptoms. Please take him into a vet now.
