Unfortunately, cats can't tell us where or when it hurts. Some symptoms and behaviors are obvious: diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, runny nose or eyes, and trouble using the litter box. There are other, more subtle, physical and behavioral indications that a visit to the vet might be in order.
Take note if your cat does any of the following:
Misses more than one meal
Shows a sudden change in eating habits
Stops using the litter box
Has a distant, depressed look in his or her eyes
Develops puffiness or a lump under the skin
Hides for more than a day
Becomes suddenly short-tempered or intolerant of attention
Shakes his or her head frequently
Changes his or her routine or loses interest in his or her favorite games
