I would definitely take him to the vet, to have him tested to make sure he is ok! Did you take him to the vet for a check up when he came back to you when he ran off for a few days?

Cats can hide pain, but it sounds like Teufel is telling you it hurts! He shouldn't be bloated or whatever it is....please Fran, get him seen. Has he been pooping and eating normally?

Especially since he vanished from you for that period of time, a vet visit would be wise here.

I would have a stool sample to bring in- it almost sounds like it could be worms. Poor baby!!!

I have teufel booked for january 5th, because he has to get his vaccinations and stuff, my vet is closed now she is going on vacation.

My mother says i just poked him too hard?
He has been eating lots of food and going to the toilet pooping and peeing. I constantly watch them even though they dont like it.
I went to feel his stomac and he didnt meow or anything i even pushed harder to feel around his belly and he didnt do anything either

when Java had her diarrhea & bacterial intestinal overgrowth problem, she had incredibly bad gas...which i knew because she would sleep right under my chin! i think the warmth from my body soothed her tummy. like when we use a heating pad to soothe abdominal cramps. i read your other thread, & it sounds like Teufel's ok, but a stool check would be good for the 'unseeable' stuff that he could've contracted.
