Hi Everyone,   I can't take my cats to the vet since it is Sunday, so I
would appreciate any info...I'm freaking out!!!  I have four cats, all
indoors. Last week, Furman had diahrrea for a day and a half. I stopped
all food for 12 hours when I first saw him having trouble, and then
gave him chicken baby food for a day, then he was fine. Yesterday
morning (Saturday) Phoebe got in the litter box but nothing came out,
then she dragged her bum on the floor. Last night she started having a
little bit of diahrrea at a time (on the carpet and in the box) and she
threw up clear liquid, and was dragging her bum. She also peed in her
bed. I didn't feed her last night to give her tummy time to settle
down. She is not better today. I tried to call the vet, but there is no
one there on Sunday!!  Can indoor cats catch a virus or bug?  My oldest
cat is 11 and the others are 6, 5, and 3 and we have never had a
diahrrea problem like this before. Phoebe had worms when we first
brought her in two years ago (she was feral), but they haven't come
back since. She has not thrown up any worms this time. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Minnie the Freaked Out Mamma:(

I don't know, is she worse than yesterday?  It doesn't sound like her
symptoms are the same as your other cat's were.  It's odd she would pee
in her bed.  Is she lethargic?  Has she eaten?  Maybe she has a
blockage.  If she seems wrse, I would try to find an emergency vet.  I
would definitley get her to a vet first thing Monday a.m.  Good luck, I
hope she'll be okay.
