Hello everyone! So I have a male kitten that's 8 weeks old and eversince we got him 2 weeks ago he has the habit of sleeping on the floor. Last week he was quite ill and I took him to the vet suspecting that it was a urinary tract infection but the vet said that his bladder was 'quite small' and ruled out that possibility. He was on antibiotics for 5 days and he got better.
He eats well, plays well (he LOVES to play with my older kitten) and uses the litter box as well. But his sleeping positions concern me... like why does he sleep on the floor all curled up when my other cat always sleeps on the bed or sofa? He also prefers to sleep on hard and cold surfaces rather than soft and insulating ones. Also, I noticed that sometimes his body is hot like he's warmer than my other cat who is 5 months old. The vet did say that he's a healthy cat but I am still concerned. My family thinks that its a personality thing because he does this thing where he randomly plops down on the floor wherever it may be and goes to sleep but I am not convinced. Does anyone have some advice for me?
These are some of his sleeping positions:
