Take the cat to the vet. If your vet doesn't have convenient hours find
another vet who does.

You know this is serious and that you have to take him to the vet.
Please take him today, if you love him.

He needs to see a vet ASAP.

Regardless of your work schedule, get the cat to a vet. There is no way any
of us can diagnose the cat from here nor help it which is what it needs. Get
out of work how you can ... lie, cheat, steal, call in sick. Whatever you
have to do. If you were in the same situation as the cat, would you ignore
going to the doctor?

Work schedules are no excuse.  Any vet will let you bring your cat in and
leave it during the day.  Mine is open at 7am just for this reason.

What if one starts work at 7am?

Then it's likely you can make an appointment for late afternoon/early
evening.  

Sometimes I've told the people at work that I had to leave an hour early
to get to a doctor's appointment -- I just didn't tell them what type of
doctor (DVM) the appointment was with.

One place I worked at, a well known computer company, insisted that any
medical appointments be deducted from vacation time.

So? I have to do that.

So, it makes it very difficult to book appointments with medical
professionals that do not have working hours outside the norm.

No, it means you take a damn hour or two of vacation time to go to the vet.

Like I said if the OP's vet isn't open any hours that are convenient try a
different vet.  It doesn't sound like something I'd just let go.

Then they go home on their lunch hour.  They leave the cat at night.  They
have a friend or relative take the cat.  They go to a 24 hour emergency vet.
