Hi
I have a 10 month old tortoiseshell kitten she has been acting really strange last couple of days not very playful and mostly sleeping. Should i take her to vets?

Hi Stenny and welcome.
By the sound of it, I'd say yes, but can you give any more details?
Such as, does she roam and could she have picked up any contaminated food/been exposed to chemicals such as weedkillers or killed a poisoned rodent? Has she been vomiting/had diarrohea?
Also, is she spayed? If she's in heat, this could mean a behavioural change.
All the very best with her and again, I would get her to the vet - better safe than sorry - and do please post to say how she goes on

I'd take her to the vets for a check-up, but if she needs an antibiotic, request an oral one, NOT an injection.
