My Ragdoll was at the vet's a few weeks ago for a check-up of his breathing. (The vet said Simon's breathing sounds fine, as he as equal air coming from his nostrils.)
My concern now, though, is that Simon's not eating like he was before. He turns nine-months-old on May 1st. Can a cat's metabolism slow a bit by then? He doesn't eat as much dry food as he was before, and he even leaves portions of his canned food, too.
I cannot tell if he's losing weight and am hoping for some answers before jumping the gun and running him to the vet again. I've noticed his decreased appetite for about 1.5 weeks now.
My husband and I both work full-time, though we were off with Simon for over two months; so he got used to us being around all the time. If he is eating less because of loneliness, I'd have thought his appetite would've decreased weeks ago (I've been at my current job for six weeks now).
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jenk
