Simon, for the last few days, has had a hot face.
His face is hot - specifically, his nose and lips. If he were a child, I'd think he was running a fever. I'll lean over and kiss him, on his lips and nose...and they just seem hotter than the other cats.
HOWEVER! The reason I'm posting and not at the vet's is that everything else is perfectly normal - brilliant shenanigans, completely ravenous (I think he's going through a growth spurt), normal waste elimination, and utterly energetic; exactly as a 7 month old kit should be. And there isn't any pain anywhere on his body - I've felt all over, and there is no reaction whatsoever (except to think we're having a game of attack the hand...).
Any idea? Can he have a fever and not show any other symptoms whatsoever? Can he be ill and I'm just missing it? Or is he just a hot kitty?
Best-
Michele
