Your kitten's recent change in behavior, such as increased lethargy and reduced playfulness, is concerning and could potentially indicate health issues that require attention.
- Observe for any accompanying symptoms like loss of appetite or vomiting.
- Consider environmental changes or stressors that might affect her behavior.
- Consult a vet for a professional assessment of her health.
Kittens, especially at the age of 6-7 months, are usually full of energy. A sudden decline in activity levels can indicate health concerns such as infections, parasites, or other underlying conditions. It is important to evaluate if there are any other signs such as changes in eating habits, weight loss, or unusual behavior.
