I thought Bad Annie was getting better, but I don't know. Last Monday, she had diarhea, which I had to cut out of her fur. She seemed better after that, though each day her bum looked a little sore. Saturday, as I was doing my hair and makeup, I heard her cry out from downstairs, but it was a yowelling similar to the one she does when she can't find me. So I go downstairs a few minutes later, and find a hard piece of poo in one room, and then in another, the largest pile of softly-formed poo that I've ever seen come out of one cat. My mom thinks she was constipated, finally got that out, and the rest hit her en route to the litterbox. I cleaned it all up, and she seemed ok. Last night, though, she was really sleepy, wanted to lay on me near my face (something she NEVER does), and her ears were really hot. But she seemed normal this morning.

But now Chalimar spent the whole night and morning sleeping in the corner of my room. She didn't even do her normal jump onto the windowsill to look at the birds when I opened the shades. But her ears weren't hot or anything.

Ugh. Do you think I need to break down and take them to the vet?

Hi Noelle,
Yes, please take her to the vet. Cats are often good at hiding symptoms of illness. Because you are so observant, you have noticed several things that are signals of something wrong, hopefully minor. But do get Annie to the vet fairly soon; it is really wise to have these things you've reported checked out.
