Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | unneutered | 6 lbs

my cat stopped enjoying everything, walks slower, isnt interested, and has vomited bile twice today. I tried everything i could think of, take him out side feed him, give him water, but he's just not interested. he wont fight me if i try to grab him or anything now. He's been sleeping a bit more that usual too.

Hello. Your poor FaFa is definitely unwell. Without some diagnostics like blood tests or x-rays, it is impossible to narrow down the causes. He definitely needs to see a vet to find out what may be going on & find the correct treatment to get him well soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    It sounds like poor Fa-Fa is sick. Unfortunately his symptoms are very general and could be caused by many different things such as dental disease, systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. I'd have him checked out by a vet as soon as possible. Best of luck.
