Our cat looks bloated around the lower chest area and didn't have an appetite this morning. I don't know if he just ate too muchbof anything outdoors or if this might be something major that needs medical attendance. He is around 1.5 years old and has been neutered. Thank you in advance for your advice/thoughts!

Vet. It's possible for a cats intestines to get wrapped around themselves, which can kill them.

I'd call my vet. They‘d rather be annoyed by an exam that turns out to be normal than rush around in a panic because you let a concern sit too long.

Dunno about cats, but a dog's stomach can fold in over itself causing bloating and considerable pain possibly leading to death. You should get a vets opinion, even if your pet is still pooing.
