Take note if your cat does any of the following:
- Misses more than one meal
- Shows a sudden change in eating habits
- Stops using the litter box
- Has a distant, depressed look in his or her eyes
- Develops puffiness or a lump under the skin
- Hides for more than a day
- Becomes suddenly short-tempered or intolerant of attention
- Shakes his or her head frequently
- Changes his or her routine or loses interest in his or her favorite games
- Stops grooming
