Sick Kitty:(

[LadyBird]

I think there may be something wrong with my kitty. All she does is sleep...that's it. She is not even playful. She is just lazy and sleeps all day and all night. When I bring out string or another toy for her to play with, she just sits there...no response...just watches it. Doesn't even try to play with it. Maybe she is not a playful kitten? I think we are going to take her to the vet? Any suggestions or advice?

Is this the same kitty you wrote about being wild and biting?

I don't have any advice except to encourage you to contact a vet (if you haven't already done that) and follow his/her advice.

You didn't say how long you've had kitty if she's in new surroundings she'll be timid for a while, if you've had her awhile you should probably have her looked at by a vet, then if all is well give her time to adjust, some kittens are just naturally mellow and that can be a good thing. Good luck with kitty, keep us posted on her.

No my sisters cat is wild...mine is mellow and lazy. We have had them for over a week now. My cat whom we think is sick is not scared of anyone. We were vacuuming yesterday and she just sat on the couch while we vacuumed the living room.

Tina, is you kitty eating? You know my cat is so mellow, she sleeps in her hand basket and you can carry her everywhere you go, when I first took her to get her spayed I picked her up and put her in a little basket so she wouldn't get upset on the ride home, well she liked it so much she stayed in whenever she needed a nap or felt afraid, then when I took her the next month to get declawed, I brought her basket to the vets to pick her up and they were so afraid to have meput her in her basket in case she jumped out, well she didn't, and the whole vets clinic is still amazed, she is very sweet and not a wild cat, I love her dearly, can't imagine what I'd do without her. She will be 3 this christmas and she weighs 15lbs. I hope your kitty turns out fine and happy too.

Well, I just got home from the Vet, and Roxy has some sort of intestinal infection. Thank goodness that she won't die though. She is on anti-biotics. I am so happy that she is going to be ok!

Thank goodness for vets and medicine! Let us know how the kitten is doing.

She is doing so much better and has only been on the medication for a day and a half. She is SO playful and cute and she barely sleeps at all...only at night and she is really playful during the day! YAY!
