My cat won't eat, is restless and hyper. What to do until the vet?

Question

Mia has gone from barely eating, and drinking a lot to not eating more than a. kibble or two and only drinking wet food juice. She is incredibly hyper and restless in bouts. She's going to a vet tomorrow morning, but what should I do in the meantime? What could this be? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 6 months and 6 days old | 6.8 lbs

It may be related to the fact that she is not spayed - she may be coming into heat. That would be my first guess although it is really hard to say because her symptoms are not specific. Pretty much anything that can cause illness in a cat can have these symptoms. That is why the vet exam is important. Your vet may be able to find something obvious on the exam or they may have to do some diagnostics (like x-rays and/or blood testing) to figure it out. I don't recommend you do anything until the vet visit other than monitoring her and if she worsens at all then take her in on emergency. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
