Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hi
2 weeks ago we rehomed 2 12 week old kittens and theyve settled in really well
This morning both kitties were their usual chaotic selves, playing, chasing each other, having lots of kitten fun.
This afternoon though one, who is the more reserved shy kitten of the two has seemed very subdued and has slept a lot. Shes still come out for her food and been very vocal as usual each time its been feeding time and has used the litter tray etc but just seems more quiet than usual.
The only thing I'm wondering is if shes a bit stressed as I took our Christmas decorations down this afternoon and obviously this now means the house is different. I know our old cat who passed away a few months ago hated any kind of change.
If anyone has had any experience of this or has any advise I would be really grateful, thank you.

I'm not one to panic with cats but a quiet kitten is definitely worth paying attention to. Things can change so very quickly with youngsters, and a 14 week old kitten should be curious about change not upset and become withdrawn about it. A phone call with your vet would be a wise precaution. Better call for nothing than not call for something.

Hi Mollycat

Thanks for your reply. I did call the vets who said to keep an eye for 24 hours and call if things got worse/didnt improve.
Today she been back to her crazy self, interested in everything and playing lots. Very relieved!
