Cat keeps laying on her side all of a sudden.

My cat keeps randomly laying down on her side, normally i wouldn't think this weird, but we'll be in the middle of playing and she'll just lay down. She's also meowing a lot when she has a full dish of food, water and a clean litter box. I'm worried she might be sick.

Hi
it is impossible to say from what you have said whether or not she is sick. however my advice has always been to cat owners is that you are the best judge of whether or not your cats behavior has changed significantly enough to indicate that their may be a problem.

So as this behavior is new and you are obviously concerned about it my advice would be to have her checked over by a vet. It can't hurt and you never know you may catch something early on and put an end to it before it develops.

Hope she is OK again soon

Kate
