HELP SICK CAT

I found my sons cat in a storage area of the house (a very uncommon area for this cat to be) because she was meowing very loud. I went to check on her she was lying in the floor, kind of wobbling around. Her pupils are dialated, and she seems weak and disoriented. She continues to meow as if in distress & falls on her side if she trys to move. Any ideas? My little boy is so upset. This cat has slept with him every night since he was born (6 years) and licks his hair while he sleeps. We found her just before his bed time.

I agree with PrettyKitty and Marisspossa, the symptoms are too serious to do the wait and see with your cat.

I am thinking some kind of poisoning, possibly carbon monoxide.  This sounds life-threatening, please do not delay getting kitty to the vet.
