10 year old tomcat hiding in cupboard
Our 10 year old tomcat has begun hiding out in a towel cupboard for
long periods of time. He used to do so only when scared, but now he goes in there constantly (but he'll come out if called). Should we be concerned about this new behavior? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

10 year old tomcat hiding in cupboard
I agree with soft on this matter about taking him to the vet for a check-up.
When you say Tomcat, that implies that he's NOT neutered/fixed. If he isn't, 'please' get him fixed, and he and both of you will be happier and he will be healthier. Does he go outdoors at all? If he does and' isn't fixed,' he will be making kittens, and that's NOT good. Kyla if it were me i would go for a vet check up just to be sure, you say tomcat, i hope he is fixed, soft "Doug2" Our 10 year old tomcat has begun hiding out in a towel cupboard for long periods of time.

Should we be concerned about this new behavior? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- Whenever there is a big change in a cat's 'normal' behavior, it's something to be concerned about. When a cat gets sick, it will instinctively hide. But, you say you cat will come if you call him...and that's not 'usual' for a sick cat. Is he eating, sleeping, and using his litter box normally? Ten years is getting on in years for a cat, and I would be inclined to take him in for a checkup, just in case there might be something wrong with him, that hasn't made him really ill, yet/ It's always much easier to treat an illness, the earlier you catch it. You cat may just have decided he likes to take naps in your towel cupboard, but if he was my cat, I would take him to the vet. How long has it been since you've had blood tests done? If the answer is 'never', or it's been a long time, this would be a good time to check and be sure his major organs are working well. |

Mr. Orange Tomcat has been coming out of his towel cupboard lately. He seems happy that I've been opening the blinds so he can look out on the world. Maybe he was just depressed? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
