My cat's stomach is bloated, not eating, not pooping. Emergency vet?

Question

Hi! My cat has, I think, a bloated stomach - he's always hungry but isn't interested in the food I give him, he's not pooping much, his stomach has grown a lot in the past week, and I can feel his backbone more than I think is normal. Should I take him to an emergency vet? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 6 months old | 12 lbs

If his stomach seems significantly bloated it could be a sign of ascites or fluid in the abdomen. I think it would be best to see a vetas soon as you can and an emergency visit might be the best option. They may recommend blood work and x-rays after a physical exam.
