When something feels wrong

Know when to call.

Changes in breathing, urination, appetite, movement or behavior can matter. If you are worried, call a veterinarian rather than relying on a website.

Emergency: difficulty breathing, collapse, uncontrolled bleeding, repeated seizures, suspected poisoning, severe trauma or inability to urinate require immediate veterinary help.
Breathing looks difficultOpen-mouth breathing, blue/grey gums or obvious effort: emergency veterinary care now.
Straining but not passing urineEspecially in male cats: this can become life-threatening quickly.
Repeated vomiting or profound weaknessCall promptly, particularly for kittens, seniors or cats with other conditions.
Sudden behavior or movement changeHiding, crying, wobbling or inability to use a limb warrants veterinary advice.

Friendly, careful guidance

Your cat knows you best.

Cats can hide pain and illness. A change from your cat’s normal routine is often more useful than a generic symptom list.

Use Cats & Cat Stuff to prepare questions, organize routines and understand everyday care—not to delay professional help.
