You don't have to be a veterinarian to understand that your pet is unwell. It's for diagnosis and treatment that you need to rush to a specialist, but otherwise the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the owner.

Here are 4 signs that a visit to the vet is urgent. You can't ignore such behavior of a cat.

Appetite and weight

Attentive owners know how much food a cat can eat in one meal, and if suddenly the animal refuses to eat at all, and at the same time begins to lose weight, then the only correct option is to go to the vet.

Habits and behavior

In addition to apathy, irritation or aggression may appear. Sick cats usually avoid contact with anyone and hide in secluded places.

Urogenital system

Most often, male cats, but occasionally female cats suffer from problems with the genitourinary system. These may be stones that cause difficulties with urination, the color and smell of discharge may change, and pets may also start making puddles where this should not be done.
