I have a muted calico cat, who is 6 years old. She has never been sick before, but is really ill right now. She recently killed a mouse, I'm not sure if the mouse had anything to do with these problems, but there is something serious wrong with her. I have an appointment for the vet but can't get her in for a week.
Symptoms
>loss of appetite
>loss of weight
>appears to be sweating
Any ideas on what could cause this? Thanks.

uhh...never heard of that one.

Being honest, brace yourself for the possibility of putting your cat down. Loss of appetite and loss of weight are pretty much two awful indicators in any animal.

Her fur feels damp and she is hot. Its as if she is sweating.

That's what I'm afraid of, thanks for the honest reply though.
>appears to be sweating
Thfuck? Cats can't sweat. So unless she's just drooling all over or pissing herself then I have no idea what the fuck that could be.
Call a different vet, find an emergency one.

cats can sweat, but they never sweat in such volume that it's apparent, except from their paws.

Has the cat had bowel movements recently? this can be a symptom of gastric/intestinal issues.

that's weird because cats only have sweat glands on the pads of their feet

You need to go to another vet then because your cat is going to die.
My guess is rat poison ingested by the rat.

Cats are going to feel warm to the touch because their natural body temperature is higher than ours. As for sweating, I really don't know. Maybe over grooming?
