I don’t know if he’s eatting or going to the bathroom because I work all day long and I never really notice. I have another cat so I don’t know if the one is using the litter box as well.
What’s wrong with my cat??? When I touch him he doesn’t jump or react like his stomach is in pain but I do notice all he does is lay around and no longer purrs.
Don’t tell me he’s just being fat because the truth is, he isn’t! I know he’s sick but I’m wondering if anyone out there knows with what? Or what I should do?
I put him down 24 hours after I posted this 
Sounds to me like he has worms and is dying of malnutrition! Get him to the Vet SOON!!
Could also be a twisted or ruptured colon, stomach cancer,etc… Many different things but HE NEEDS A VET SOON!!
It sounds to me like a Vet job.
Could be worms or a number of other problems. Some serious. Make an appointment for the vet and take your little one for a full check up. The vet may suggest a full blood panal too if he thinks it’s as bad as it sounds here. If he does you should get it done.
Hope there is nothing too bad wrong with your little one. Only a vet can tell you for sure though.
Good luck.
You don’t say how old your cat is.
You also don’t say how long he’s been like this- one would hope not too long.
This could be a blockage, which is an emergency.
It could be all sorts of things and generally a pet is taken to the vet’s right away, since catching things early means less stress to the animal and a better chance of taking care of the problem.
GO TO THE VET’S.
Sounds to me like this cat is starving to death! He may have worms, or your other cat may be a total glutton and is eating all the food, and this one isn’t getting any. Get this cat to the vet IMMEDIATELY! I’m afraid that if you don’t, your kitty is going to die. He is mal-nourished and most probably dehydrated as well. Don’t waste any time with this—this is serious. Best of luck to you in getting this kitty well.
maybe worms, best bet is to go to the vet
TAKE HIM TO THE VET….HE IS SICK!!!
make an appointment with the vet.
Sounds like he has lost weight if you can feel and see his spine. Please take him to the vet for God’s sake. I hope he lives that long. I’m praying for him.
To be on the safe side you take your cat to the Vet.
