Understanding that your Abyssinian cat is 10 months old and has been experiencing symptoms for a period of three days, which have now ceased, let's address the potential causes and steps you can take to ensure her well-being.

Firstly, without specific symptoms listed, it's important to consider common issues that may affect a young cat. These can range from dietary indiscretions, such as eating something they shouldn't have, to infectious diseases, stress-related behaviors, or even the onset of a more serious medical condition.

Given that your cat is not currently vaccinated, it's crucial to be vigilant about any signs of illness. Vaccinations are key in preventing various diseases, so it would be wise to schedule a vaccination appointment. In the meantime, keep her indoors to minimize exposure to infectious agents.

Without flea and tick prevention, your cat is at risk of parasitic infestations, which can lead to skin irritation, anemia, or vector-borne diseases. It's advisable to start a vet-recommended flea and tick prevention program.

If your cat shows any of the following signs, it would be necessary to seek immediate veterinary care: difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, sudden collapse or extreme lethargy, uncontrolled bleeding, or seizures. These symptoms can indicate serious conditions that require prompt attention.

For general care, ensure she has a balanced diet appropriate for her life stage, provide fresh water at all times, and maintain a clean and enriching environment. Regular play and interaction can help keep her physically and mentally stimulated.

If she shows mild symptoms like sneezing, a slight change in appetite, or temporary lethargy, monitor her closely. If these symptoms persist for more than a day or worsen, it's important to consult a veterinarian.

Remember to keep her litter box clean, as hygiene is important to prevent the spread of diseases, especially for an indoor cat. Also, grooming her regularly can help you spot any changes in her skin or coat that may indicate a health issue.

Lastly, ensure she has a quiet place to retreat to if she seems stressed or overwhelmed, as stress can exacerbate health issues in cats.
