All of you are right, but I have seen people in other Forums saying things like:

"My cat hasn't eat for a week. Should I take him to the vet? Is it normal?"

Or even: "my she cat has been bleeding for five days. She has been pregnant for two months and we thought perhaps she was giving birth. Do you believe I should worry?"

I know it's incredible, but I think this kind of advice is very necessary because some people doesn't understand cats also need to go to vet NOW. Sometimes two days after everyone has told them "take your cat to the vet immediately" they decide to take their cats to the vet. And most times it isn´t because of the money. It's because they think cats are very tough and don't need medical care

That makes a lot of sense! I would never waste time typing on a computer if any of my babies were sick and needed attention.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY:

Never wait or post on the Cat Channel or any website for a response when your cat is in distress or in an emergency situation. Immediately get your cat to an emergency pet hospital or your vet. While your cat is doing well, find out the location of an after hours emergency pet hospital or you can check with your vet to find out. No message board can replace a vet or a pet hospital that can physically examine and run tests on your cat.
