5 SIGNS THAT YOUR CAT IS SICK
1.) WEIGHT GAIN / WEIGHT LOSS
I'm not a vet but once you see your cat getting thinner or bigger, you will always suspect that your cat is sick. When getting thin, you'll notice their hip bones are more prominent and their stomach just looks saggy and thin.
When getting fat, you'll first notice their stomach getting bigger together with their neck getting fluffier their backs getting more broader.
2.) MESSY / CLUMPY COAT
When you cat has stopped grooming or "licking" himself/herself, you'll suspect that something is stressing your cat. Cats are very meticulous groomers. So when you see that their coat isn't healthy check for other signs. Do not give them a bath yet, consult your vet first since they might be sick or feeling cold. Wiping them with a clean towel temporarily can help but til then, take your cat first to the vet.
3.) PALE GUMS
Pale gums may indicate dehydration, poor circulation or an underlying disease. It is important to check this regularly. You may also want to check paleness on the ears and around eyeballs.
4.) HEAVY, FAST & SHALLOW BREATHING
Unusual breathing patterns are also very important because your cat might already be catching his breath maybe because of an enlarged organ. A cat may also be in hiding when experiencing this because he/she wants to be in a relaxed state.
5.) DILATED EYES
A cats pupils should be of the same size, depending on the light that reflects on his/her eyes. When the light is directly to their eyes, the pupils would be constricted or appear thin, while dilated when the cat is in a dark area or at nighttime. When your cat is sick, the pupils are dilated and remain dilated.

The ability of a cat to find its way home is called βpsi-traveling.β Experts think cats either use the angle of the sunlight to find their way or that cats have magnetized cells in their brains that act as compasses.
that's nice to know! @catfacts
A catβs nose pad is ridged with a unique pattern, just like the fingerprint of a human.
really? so can they also get a "nose print"? just kidding @catfacts
When your cats rubs up against you, she is actually marking you as \hers\" with her scent. If your cat pushes his face against your head"
then what does that mean? @catfacts
Two members of the cat family are distinct from all others: the clouded leopard and the cheetah. The clouded leopard does not roar like other big cats, nor does it groom or rest like small cats. The cheetah is unique because it is a running cat; all others are leaping cats. They are leaping cats because they slowly stalk their prey and then leap on it.
