My cat has diarrhea, won't eat, and is very lethargic. Is he sick?

Question

My cat has diarrhea and doesn't eat even though he seems to hungry (by smelling the food and walking away or just having a bit and then leaves). He doesn't drink and plays very little. He also sleeps a lot and can get agressive sometimes. What can be the problem here? Pet's info: Cat | European Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 6 days old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is a classic sign of nausea. Loss of appetite, diarrhea and nausea can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I am concerned that he could be becoming dehydrated. I recommend that you have Aslan evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
