My cat hasn't eaten in a week and sleeps more. Is a vet visit needed?

Question

My cat has no been eating for the past week or so. No other symptoms, other than sleeping more than usual. Could it be serious & is it worth a vet visit? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed

Poor girl. Not eating is a serious symptom in a cat especially. I would absolutley recommend taking Ava in to your local vet to be evaluated at this point. She could have just about anything going on, so the vet will want to start with some baseline bloodwork and a urinalysis to gather clues as to why she is ill so that we know how to best treat her moving forward. Since it has been more than a few days already, it is best to get her to your vet asap. I hope that Ava is able to make a full recovery soon! Best wishes and take care.
