I went on vacation for 8 nights and my brother stayed at my apartment the whole time with my 2 cats (one is around 2 yrs old, the other is 6 months).
He's a huge cat lover and they had a great time- both cats even slept on him every night.
When we got home from vacation- the older cat was super playful and acted really happy we were home. My 6 month old seemed mad at us.
It's been a little over a week and the kitten is acting normal- using the litter box fine, eating/drinking normally, no problems jumping up on counter tops, etc. BUT- he's been super attached to me and won't play with toys.
Every second I sit down, he's on my lap snuggling. He would rather be held then play. Before I left, if I wiggled my toe, or rolled a toy on the floor he would go after it like crazy. Now, he'll see the toy or object, but doesn't go after it- he'd rather just snuggle with me.
My older cat is the opposite and is playing like a kitten, running all over the place.
Do you think they'll just get over it? I was about to call the vets but I think I'll sound dumb saying "Can I bring in my cats- they switched personalities"
I would take them in instantly if the behavior was grouped with not eating or bathroom issues-- but other than their playfulness/super cuddliness they are acting totally normal.
Do you think it's just stress from us being gone? I think I'm gonna go buy a Feliway refill since mine is out.
