My cat has been acting completely different, she’s been hiding from everyone, not eating, not wanting to be pet anymore, and she’s getting bald spots. Im extremely worried and can’t get her into the vet until tomorrow. Any clue what could be wrong?

Unfortunately Chloe's symptoms are pretty general, and could be caused by many different illnesses such a dental problems, systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. It's a very good idea to get her into the vet tomorrow.
