Why is my cat suddenly vocal and her stomach trembling? Is it serious?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 9.5 lbs

My cat has been more vocal than usual lately and today I noticed that her stomach was trembling. I don't know what could be wrong with her and if it could be something serious.

Poor Frida Katlo! It could be that she is experiencing some stomach pain, such as from an illness, that is causing her to be more vocal and have her stomach tremble. She could also have a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain, but I would monitor her for now. Should she continue to have these symptoms in 24-48 hours, or she stops eating, drinking, becomes lethargic, or starts vomiting and having diarrhea, I would have Frida seen by a vet.

    Yes, you should be concerned that this a sign of a problem for Frida Katio. Even though she is still eating, I am concerned there may be an infection or parasite in the GI tract responsible for the diarrhea. There are some viral infections that can affect the GI tract and the respiratory or ocular tissue as well. A good physical examination with your veterinarian is a good place to start. I recommend bringing a fresh fecal sample from Frida Katio with you because they will want to check the sample for parasite eggs and if they are found, this can help determine what medication is needed to treat the diarrhea.
