My kitten is trembling, won't eat or walk after new cat. Is he sick?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

We bought another cat (6-7 months old) and i believe our 5 month old kitten has been emotionally traumatized. It's been over 24 hours since he's eaten, drank water, etc. He won't even walk or open his eyes and he trembles. Do you guys handle problems like this?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! We are an advice site. We can’t examine patients. Neither can the Vetco locations with in PetCo as that is for healthy vaccinations. It sounds like your car is sick not emotionally traumatized. The treambling is the biggest indicator he might be sick: pain or fever. Cats shouldn’t go more that 2-3 days with out eating. I would take him to a vet today if you can for an exam. Good luck!
