Hello,

My cat - male, 10 yrs old - started acting very odd
yesterday.  He is clearly quite ill.  His movements
are very slow and unsure, his reaction time to
noise and other stimuli is slow and sluggish, he
is not eating, and taking very little water.  His
movement is slow and strained. It looks as though
it is painful for him to move around.

No vomiting
or other signs of gastric distress.

A few minutes ago he went to his water dish and
started pushing it around and acting sort of afraid
of it, then eventually took a few sips.  I'm thinking
maybe he drank out of a toilet and it made him sick?

He's an indoor cat - never outside.  He doesn't appear
to be in pain, but who knows?  Something
is very wrong, however.

I can't get to a vet anytime soon.  Any help MUCH appreciated.
