Is my cat sick or dying? Two days ago my cat was happy and running around but then yesterday he was randomly sick he would make gagging sounds and his stomach will extend, he is also walking very slowly and is having diarrhea and is puking and he just lays on the floor because he is so weak. Please tell me what is wrong and how i can help him he's an amazing cat and i would be scared if something serious is happening.

It sounds as Mini is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
