Why is my cat suddenly wobbly, vomiting, not eating, and hiding?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 8 years and 3 months old | 7.3 lbs

My cat is normally energetic and socialable and he was a few hours ago, but I noticed that he's walking slow, a little wobbly, one of his ears is turned down a bit, he vomited a few times, and he's not hungry at all, even though normally he's crazy when foods out. He's also hiding from me and the other cats. Is it a cold? Or could it be something serious?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Oreo. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. Vomiting is not a sign of a cold and most cats that vomit are not wobbly. Is there any chance he could have eaten something toxic? That would be my first concern. If so, he can possibly be given something to help absorb any remaining toxin from his system. I hope this information helps!
