Cat Forum / General Topics / October 2004Depressed cat?
Hello, My mum has had Gizmo for maybe 18 months now, and he is normally a VERY ENERGETIC cat, always fighting with your hand and playing with its toys, never stops really. Last week she introduced a second cat, now 8 weeks old, and at first Gizmo and the new kitten (Mr Darcy) got on like a house on fire... Two weeks on, its all change. Gizmo is lying in the same spot all day every day, doesn't want to play, has a really grumpy and tired face and just seems completely and utterly depressed. he shows ZERO interest in Mr Darcy unless it is to hiss, spit and scratch the poor wee sod. Any ideas? I am thinking about having Gizmo pay a visit to the vet, but my mum says its an over reaction. Any advice appreciated!

Gary. > OK, Ill let my mum know. > > Gary. It's best to be on the safe side. Cats can't tell us when they are not well and not wanting to play and intolerence can be signs of pain and illness. You can't assume Gizmo has got the hump becuase of the new cat. He was fine at first so I don't see why he would change to this extent. Good luck and let us know what happens. Alison > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Gary. Gizmo could have a medical problem, but then again his behaviour could stem from the fact that Mr. Darcy and him simply don't click. Over time, the situation may change but then again, maybe it won't. Just as people are people, cats are cats, we and they don't always get along.
