HI all,
I adopted a 6 year old male cat that needed to be rehomed and he has been with me for about 5 months now.
It has been a bit of a challenge because I have never owned a cat before and we are both prone to anxiety, but overall we have a good bond and I love him dearly.
I have been concerned about many things which I have observed in his behavior recently which include
- not eating as much especially at night
- not wanting to play much especially at night
- licks his legs and paws a lot
- does a weird thing with his mouth and tongue, hard to describe, like something yucky is in his mouth and he's trying to get it out?
- when I say " do you want breakfast/dinner?" usually he will meow enthusiastically and follow me, now he just looks at me and have to say it over and over (still gets excited about his treats though!)
- hides a lot
- doesn't want to be brushed much which he used to love
- reluctant to jump or move much
- generally seems a bit depressed
anyone have any ideas?
