I actually asked a question about my cat but his symptoms changed.I told You before that he didn't want to eat,drink and was sleeping a lot.Well now he just doesn't want to eat or drink and started to move but once I tooked him in my arms and he was happy but didn't purr like he usually do.And then he just jumped out of my arms.Tommorow I will go see the vetenarian with him.Does he have chances to live?

It sounds like he has a chance to live until tomorrow when you can take him to the vet. Offer him some different types of food and see if you can get him to eat. Maybe he would eat some boiled chicken. Also try to get him to drink some water. You could try to syringe him some water. Take him to the vet as soon as possible for treatment. He may need some fluids and medications to help.
