Hi, this is the first time I post here, and it's the first time I own a cat alone (as in, not with the help of my mom).
I adopted Poe at 2 months old, the vet told me it was best to get him neutered early and at the same time as the vaccines he needed (rabies and 3rd distemper). He's a little over 4 month old and got neutered a week ago exactly. He was very upset when he came home from the vet, he was hissing a lot, meowing (he never does except when I cole home or when he's ready for me to get up in the morning) and even shaking a little. He was given pain killer for 3 extra days, he healed fast and seemed much better, but he's usually pretty crazy and playful, he usually sleeps a lot but tries to stick around me. Lately he barely plays, stays in a different room then me when he sleeps (most of the time), seems to prefer darker rooms then he did before and doesn't have much interest in his wet food (he still eats all his dry food).
I'm worried that he might be feeling depressed or if there s something wrong with him. I was pretty young when my other cats got neutered so I don't remember how the recovery went. Maybe he's simply still recovering, and need a quiet and dark place to get full rest, but I'm worried it's something else, please share your experience with me!
