OK, got it to work.
You need to get your cat to a Vet, ASAP. I know you said you don't have the money. Could you apply for Care Credit? Are you in the US? From what I am seeing it looks like he is having difficulty breathing and or swallowing. But what he is exhibiting is a very distressed cat, even though he may not look like it to some people. So, if I was you I would at the very least, get the money together for at least an exam, and go from there. Usually an exam isn't that expensive. Once you are in, it is allot easier to try to get help.

He does look like a very nice cat.

:yeah: I thought the same thing when watching that video. I do think it warrants a vet visit. Since he goes outside, it is possible that he ate something and it is lodged in his throat. There are just too many possibilities and the only way to get to the bottom of it is to have a vet take a look. Is he eating/drinking OK?

Maybe you can share that video with the vet and that might prompt them to cooperate more with you about a payment plan so that you can pay parts of the bill over time. Anything in this article that might help financially?

Definitely distress, eyes runny, breathing or swallowing is impaired. It is an emergency and he needs a vet. This is not something you can handle at home.
