Your Siamese cat's recent change in behavior could be a result of stress from the move or another underlying issue.
- Monitor your cat for any additional symptoms.
- Recent environmental changes can be stressful.
- A significant drop in activity or vocalization can signal health concerns.
It's understandable to be concerned when your usually vocal and lively Siamese cat becomes quiet and withdrawn. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for cats and may cause temporary changes in behavior as they adjust. Monitor her over the next few days for any signs of improvement or additional symptoms, such as eating less or hiding more frequently. If she doesn't return to her normal self or if you notice other changes like a lack of appetite, it's best to consult with a vet to rule out any health issues.
