My friend's cat woke up this morning not feeling good. She's lost her apatite and is a bit sluggish. She's also vomiting green liquid. A few times today. She's never had problems before. She hasn't been seen eating or drinking today, but she has been active. She follows him all around the house. I THINK she may have had a nibble about thirty minutes before more green vomit.
The kicker... She's eating dog food. They have a small dog and the cat likes dog food. The dad thought it would be cheaper, so she's on dog food. She's incredibly skinny, which I chewed them out over. (in a kind way) I told them to get her some tuna or cat food ASAP. The dad got her soft dog food instead. I'm bringing her some of my actual cat food in the AM in case that's the cause.
My friend's dad doesn't want to take her to the vet. He thinks she's pregnant (parents, eh?) If it becomes too desperate I'll find a way to get her there myself, but neither of us have money until Friday.
Any ideas what could be wrong with poor kitty? I'm suspecting her diet, but I know my anger over her diet is clouding my judgement. I don't want to focus on diet and have her suffer because it's something else.
