Probleme
Fragen
5 FragenHas your cat's diet changed recently? If so, what was the change? (ID: 584)
No, his diet hasn't changed at all. He's been eating the same brand of wet food and dry kibble for over a year now. I haven't introduced any new treats or human food either. It's the exact same food he always eats.
Is your cat drinking enough water? Have you noticed any changes in his water intake? (ID: 585)
That's a good question. I haven't specifically noticed him drinking more or less. He has a water fountain he uses, and it seems to be at its usual level. I'll try to pay closer attention to his water intake over the next few hours, but I haven't seen any obvious changes.
Has your cat been vomiting or showing any other signs of illness? (ID: 586)
No, he hasn't vomited. He's been a little less playful than usual, and as I mentioned, his appetite is down, but no other outward signs of sickness like lethargy or coughing. He's just seems generally uncomfortable and a bit withdrawn.
Are there any other pets in the household, and are they experiencing similar issues? (ID: 587)
Yes, we have another cat, a female named Luna. She's perfectly fine, eating normally, using her litter box without any issues, and seems her usual energetic self. No straining or discomfort from her at all.
Has your cat had any recent stressful events or changes in his environment? (ID: 588)
Not that I can think of. We haven't moved, no new people or pets have come into the house, and his routine has been pretty consistent. He's usually a pretty laid-back cat, so I'm not sure what would be causing him stress.
