My cat seems to be extra lethargic and hiding more than usual. Is this normal?

[]

Answer

Lethargy and hiding can be subtle but significant signs that your cat isn't feeling well. Cats are masters at concealing illness, so any change in their normal behavior, especially decreased activity or withdrawal, warrants attention. It could indicate pain, infection, organ issues, or stress. Monitor their appetite, water intake, and litter box habits closely. If the behavior persists for more than 24 hours, or if you notice any other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing, it's best to consult with a veterinarian. Early detection is key for many feline conditions. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
