Hope im not too late to post this
I have a semiferal cat that has spent around 80% of her time inside since May of last year, sleeps indoors with me. (I mean semiferal because she's only comfortable around me, my parents and brother, anyone else shows up and she'll hide) Last week she appeared normal, no changes in her diet, and was all playful with her mom and boyfriend, who also stay inside with me. Then randomly on Saturday i noticed that she stayed in my bed for over 8 hours, and since then she's been less and less energetic, and now she's barely eating. She'll willingly go outdoors to go do her business and just get some air, but once she's inside she just rests. This is the only normal behavior i noticed was from yesterday and today:
- scratched a tree and a post
- laid down on the floor relaxing in one instance
- saw a bug crawling on the floor and showed interest in chasing it
but she stopped purring, still shows interest in eating, but barely eats anything i give her
I want to take her to a vet here in Houston and i plan on taking her tomorrow if the cat carrier gets here on time, but since my parents are strict w me, they say that i should let time pass and see if she feels better
I know that the only solid conclusion determining what's wrong w her would be from the vet, but has anyone have advice or suggestions, or any type of feedback as to what could she be having?
many many thanks,
