Hi everyone,
I posted a thread last week about an abandoned kitty we found on the highway. We named him Stubby and had him neutered last week.
The first nights he was with us, he would go out and stay all evening and night and come home in the morning to eat and sleep. He was practically starved judging by his eating and ate everything at first.
Now he is eating ok but not like at first (understandable).
Well Friday night he came in about 10:00 p.m. and now he won't go out at all. He hisses at my 2 girl kitties when they see each other but doesn't make any move toward them.
He is very loving but hardly moves. He sleeps under a bed in a spare bedroom or on a chair in the living room. He loves to be petted but I'm concerned because he is getting absolutely no exercise whatsoever.
He was obviously a very loved kitty at one time and we are trying to give him all the love we can. My females hiss and hide from him but seem to be getting a little less frightened.
Could this be the result of neutering? He still went out the next night after he was neutered and the next.
It seems likely (just guessing) that maybe he went looking for his home and finally decided he couldn't find it.
My heart is breaking for him. I didn't see the vet after he was neutered and the girl said she forgot to have him guesstimate his age so I don't know how old he is and can't even guess. He has no trouble jumping or eating dry food. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
