To start off with I have four cats; Asia, Princess, Ra, and Spot (yes, Spot is a cat). They're almost three years old (birthday February 2), and the one I'm worried about is Asia. Let me explain.
All right, the last few nights everyone has been going to sleep at a decent hour (except me, who went to work), so the house has been getting cold at night. (Not freezing--well, not more than once. I put fear into AWM and RB, whom I share a house with, and that will not be happening again.) The day that it was freezing inside the house most of the cats were fine, meowing, protesting the cold, demanding breakfast, that sort of thing. But Asia was no where to be found. I finally found her, curled up in the living room in a spot that gets the most heat when the fire is lit, and she was very cold and very sluggish until I warmed her up. Then she was fine--and starving, of course since she'd missed breakfast. Yesterday morning and this morning she was sluggish and slow until after I got the fire built up (the heating unit went out again). Is this sluggishness a result of the first morning, when it was so cold in the house, or is this an indication of something serious? Again, after she's warmed up she's fine--she eats, she plays, she rests (usually in front of the fire). Do I need to worry?
