+1 if he doesn't feel good enough to eat he needs medical attention excess slobber and drool can mean that he's having seizures(in my experience). Again, not something to fool around with... if he is having seizures, the vet will most likely put him on a form of phenobarbytol. |

When cats stop eating it can throw their blood chemistry way off and result in serious trouble. Vet ASAP.

We called the vet's emergency service and she said that they would run blood tests on Monday and to try and keep food and water in him.

When a cat stops eating there's something seriously wrong and has to be treated ASAP. My cat did that and it was liver failure (but caught in the nick of time). Hopefully your vet can see your cat today even though it's the weekend but if not there may be an animal hospital that can.
Edit: Find an animal hospital to see him today if possible. |

Find a vet to see the cat today. Liver problems are fairly common and deadly if not treated, sometimes 13 is all you get though.
Good luck |

What does his breath smell like?
Is he urinating? Not just going to the litter box... really eliminating! Palpate his abdomen....Gently squeeze his abdomen and feel for masses. |

For those who replied earlier and shared advice and concerns, thank you.
Buddy is doing okay as of 11:00 EST. He actually got up and ate some tuna I put down for him (his favorite treat), and is currently playing with our kitten. I haven't noticed any more slobbering, and he seems much more alert and responsive than he was earlier. He seems back to normal.  I called a number of vets, but none have an after hours service except his normal vet, who seemed content just to seem him on Monday. I will monitor him closely until Monday. This whole incident seems really odd to me. Thanks again for replies and advice. |
