Yes, it is most likely a GI issue. I recommend calling your veterinarian in the morning to schedule an appointment. My concern is your cat is not eating. They would be able to run blood work and a stool sample to determine what is causing this. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
