I am really worried about my 4 year old cat, Fargo. For the past five days or so, he has taken up a post on one of our windowsills and refuses to leave it for any reason. He will even fall asleep, fall off, but then jump right back up. He must be eating and using the litter pan, but we never see him do it. He does not seem to be in any discomfort other than having some sort of mange on the base of his tail which I have treated with antibiotic cream and is healing nicely.
The most obvious cause of his behavior is that we have a new kitty in the house. But the young, feisty Clarence has been in the house for nearly 3 months and other than the initial strangeness, Fargo seemed to adjust to him fine. They were even playing together. So why this sudden refusal to leave the windowsill.
Fargo is my middle cat. I also have a 12 year old Maine Coon, Wilbur, who has been with me since a kitten and so Fargo has always had another cat in his house.
I'm just baffled. Thoughts, anyone?
