Basically, anything that is not status quo for Mr. Kitty is a sign that there could be something going on. For example, going outside the litter box is a telltale sign that your cat's not happy. If your cat is not eating, that could be a sign of something much more serious than just a behavior issue. The cat could be sick. Any changes in attention, whether it be more attention-seeking or an affectionate cat who suddenly doesn't want attention, is also a sign. Cats, unlike dogs, are prey creatures in the wild, so a cat is going to hide signs of sickness. Therefore, you need to be very astute. You want to make sure that you're measuring out the food each day, so you have an idea of what your cat is eating and drinking. You want to watch their bowel movements and urination.
