Ever since we moved Jake has been acting different. It could be the stress from moving, I don't know, but he is just not as happy anymore, he hides for a few hours at a time and just withdraws. He eats and uses the litter box as normal, however before he used to jump and run after toys and now he will only do it if I really entice him..We did have a long play session yesterday with da bird but it used be he would initiate play time, now I had to really try to get his attention.
He also used to just playfully jump and wrap his paws around my ankle as I was walking to "tackle me"...now he just looks at me and his eyes follow me wherever I go but doesn't really go after me ...
I will take him to the vet in a few minutes, but I am unsure if taking him to the vet is the best thing to do right now- won't it add to the stress he is already feeling??
I don't know, I am just worried. Anyone have experiences with cats and moving? I did move all of my things first, made sure everything was settled before I brought him over. So he wasn't living the chaos that happens with moving, he was safe at my parents house for a while after i moved.. I am not sure if it's stress or if it's anything else..
Now is also a good time to ask the vet if his breath smells normal, I had posted about that before thinking he might have bad breath..we will see.
