We recently moved my son, Dylan, to college with his cat, Dexter (about 1.5 years old). He moved into an apartment and has a roommate, although interaction between them is minimal due to their schedules.
Here, at home, Dexter had the company of two other cats, Lupin (2 yrs) and Mia (3 yrs).
Dylan has told me that he doesn't feel that Dexter is acting right. Although Dylan plays with Dexter as much as a busy student can, Dylan thinks that Dexter is sleeping more than he should, doesn't run around as much as he used to, and doesn't play with his toys as much as he did at home.
Dylan is worried that Dexter might be depressed or seriously bored. His words "All he does is eat and sleep". Dexter found a spot on a closet shelf and spends a lot of his time there.
Dylan is also worried that Dexter is gaining weight but I don't think that's very likely since we only moved Dylan and Dexter 6 days ago.
What advise do you have? What can I tell Dylan to help them through this? Obviously, this is a very stressful time for Dylan and Dexter so I want to make things easier for both of them.
Thanks,
