Please send some prayers for Handsome. (Silly name, but he is!)
He is a semi-feral that goes out in the morning and to do his business, he sleeps inside at night.

He hasn't gone out all day yesterday and so far today. He is eating and drinking fine, but does look a little uncomfortable. I'm not sure if he is going to the bathroom as he hasn't gone in a litter box in front of me.

Quite frankly, I don't know if he is sick or not...

I am keeping a watch on him and will take him to the vet if he needs tomorrow. I am just worried. Please send some prayers this way that he is fine and just doesn't feel like going out in the cold. His change in behavior just doesn't seem right...

Thank you!

Yeah... changes of behavior like this usually signals something is wrong - I would take him to the vet. Remember, cats are notorious for hiding pain, so it will be really hard for you to know for certain if he really needs...
Is he lethargic?

Oh! You all work fast!
About an hour after the post, he asked to go outside!
Now he's rolling about happily out there.

He's still off schedule but acting more normally. Maybe he was constipated and I didn't know?

Anyway, I will be keeping a close eye on him. Maybe he is moving more to becoming an inside only cat which will make me very happy. We have been trying for years to make him an inside cat only but it's proven impossible.

Thank you all so much!

Sometimes a cat will just have an "off" day, but more often than not, any changes usually indicate something's not right. I think a trip to the vet would be in your kitty's best interest.

for nothing serious!
