My 3 year kitty is usually sleeping during the day and upbeat an
playful @ night.  Loves going out into the garden to hang out w/ou
neighbor's cat. Very vocal and loves to talk.

For the past couple of days, he's been sleeping and being lazy all da
and night.  Doesn't get excited about playing with his favorite toys
Seems very low energy. just wants to sleep...almost "depressed like".

Appetite is good.  Litterbox is being used....

Should I be worried that something is wrong...or is it common for cat
to get the "winter blues"?

I'd be a bit concerned. Cats behaviours do change with seasons, but
that is pretty dramatic.

Has he had a vet visit lately?

And ... might you think about a kitty companion for him?

I think they go through mood swings and cycles just like we do
i think sometimes they are just keeping time with us

If this goes on for much longer, I would probably take her in for a
check-up.

I think cats have things that bother them that they can't tell us about
-- like headaches or muscle strains, just like humans. If it lasts for
awhile though, I start to get concerned.

leave.

"Kisses" is walking reaaal slowly.  I caught him trying to jump on a
ottoman and couldn't get his hind legs off the ground. Just reached hi
front paws and stood there......
