I posted in the Cat SOS about an unplanned foster cat I took in named Casper. I have now had him a week. He is still terrified. Not adjusting at all.
He is eating and drinking very little. Usually only at night when the condo is quiet. I have noticed the last couple of days (at least) that while there is pee in the litter box, I have not seen poop. He was pooping when he first came in.
I did move him to an upstairs bathroom... to give him more space -- and he seemed to regress a little bit when I did that.
I am very worried about him. I think if there is no poo in the box tomorrow morning, a vet call is warranted. What do you guys think?
NOTE - that I have offered him stinky Meow Mix wet, kitten food, stage two human baby food -chicken and turkey, tuna fish, you name it. I did finger feed him a little bit tonight - forcefully. Then he did eat a little bit off of the plate. I KNOW he HAS to be hungry.
Vibes that the wet food is gone and the dry food nibbled and there is poo in the box tomorrow morning!
