cat health question

My six months old male cat has been very lathargic for a few days and is now refusing to eat or play, and i also noticed his fur is looking very scruffy, any ideas?

Hi
unfortunately his symptoms could be caused by all sorts of things, from a simple virus to poor nutrition, to worms etc etc I can't begin to say.

however with all the symptoms you describe i really would recommend that he goes to see the vet sooner rather than later. kittens can be susceptible to all sorts of things and the earlier it is caught and treated the better the outcome.

Hopefully it is something that can easily put right.

best wishes KAte
