My cat is suddenly lethargic, aggressive, losing balance, won't eat.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 11 months old | 15 lbs

My cat has been acting lethargic lately, but I didn't think too much about this because he spends most of the time indoor and he sleeps a lot. But couple days ago he started to act really strangely, making sounds, little aggressive -not like him. We comfort him a lot during couple days so he stopped noises, but he walks funny, looses his balance, seems like he doesn't know what to do with himself anymore, stopped eating, mostly laying down in the position that he wasn't before ithappen overnigh

You need to take Kiki for an examination at the vets asap. Refusal to eat and lack of balance could be attributed to many different conditions some of which can be fairly serious. Your vet will likely need to run some tests to get to the bottom but of this.
