Hello everyone! This is my first post, and I am very glad to have found this site.
My kitten, KiKi, is three years old (turned three on the 27th). We took her to the vet for her check up and vaccinations two weeks ago yesterday. All was well.
The last few days she has been acting a little "off" for lack of a better word. She has been less energetic and eating less. She has still been eating and drinking (just less than normal) and using the litter box like normal for the last few days. Last night, when we got home she started meowing really loud (like something was wrong). My husband picked her up and she stopped. Then, she stood by the door and was like she was just frozen there for a minute or like she was off balance. Then, went right in her room and started eating...acting totally normal after. Today, she has literally been in my bed all day long. I've seen her up one time since 11:30 this morning (It is now 7:00 at night). She got up one time for maybe 5 minutes, ate about two bites(very little) and drank water (only time she has eaten today), and went straight back to bed. She is still grooming herself, and at times, acts totally normal and like herself. She ate the rest of her food sometime overnight last night, so she did eat sometime last night or early this morning...but she has barely eaten all day today.
I do need to add to this that we (my family of four) have been off from work/school for over a week. So, I don't know if we just have her totally off her schedule, and she is just stressed out and tired, or if something could be wrong. Of course, there are no vets available around me on this holiday weekend. I don't know if I should call her vet tomorrow, or just try to wait until he is back in the office Tuesday. I just don't want to let something go if she needs medical attention, and I don't want to call in a vet as an emergency if she is just off schedule. She has just never acted like this before, and of course now, I am watching her like a hawk...so, I'm not worried that I'm overreacting and noticing too much.
If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I'd sure appreciate it. She is our baby.
