Hello
I need some advice
I bought a kitten about 2 weeks ago and when I got her home we realised how skinny and rough she was .. she had fleas and was really really underfed you could feel all her ribs and tail bone .
I cleaned her up and took her vets who said she was dehydrated and They gave her some fluids and told me she needed time
So it’s been roughly two weeks and she eats brilliantly and her poops and pees are fine she goes in her tray and everythinb seems fine with that but she worries me becuAse she never ever ever plays !!! With nothing . I bought a cat tree and some toys and a laser to play with but she just follows it with her eyes and then just gives up . She never explores the house or jumps or runs and I’m just worried she’s not normal somehow .
She grooms herself and will sharpen her claws on some wood we have but that’s it .
she’s not bouncy or playful like a kitten should be.
she is due for her first injections next week buT I don’t know if I should ask for teststo be done on her as it will be expensive and I’m not sure if she is sick or just uninterested .
we have another kitten who is all over the place and when she plays with her she just lets her jump all over her andhardly bats a paw back .
Just want to know if anyone has experienced anything similar . Maybe she was mistreated so badly she doesn’t know how to play ?? I don’t know how to help her .
