Hi everyone, I adopted a 3.5 year old grey tabby a week ago (we do not have other pets in the household) and feel a bit concerned because he isn't very lively or willing to play with us. I'm not sure if it's because he's still getting used to the new family, not feeling well or that is just his personality, which brings me to my question - is it common for cats to be not lively and active?
He's not hostile to us and doesn't try to hide from us; just barely willing to play and prefers to sit by himself during his waking hours. We've tried a variety of toys (boxes, fishing rods, balls, catnip bubbles, laser pointer), without too much success. He is eating normally and is sleeping a good chunk of the day. I also don't notice any other signs of illness, except for a little constipation.
Your advice is much appreciated!
