Hello. Thank you for your question. I know this must be very scary for you. Generally seeing black stool is a sign that there is blood in the feces. When it is black in color, that means that the blood has been "digested" or is coming from somewhere internally. This is something very serious and you are already seeing some of the issues that will arise. Your cat is probably weak because there is a significant amount of blood being lost. If at all possible you need to take her to a vet ASAP. There are many places that are open on a limited basis or emergency clinics and even vets who will travel to your home. I hope you get the help you need and Please feel free to contact me through a one on one consultation is you have further questions.
