I have a six year old tortishell who recently was just prescribed Clomicalm after a few years of innapropriate urination. It was ruled to be behavioural I'm also positive it is) by our vet. The peeing has stopped, thankfully. I also just bought a house and I believe the medication helped ease her stress.
We've been living here for just over a week, and a few days ago I noticed some strange behaviour. There's been 3 times I've noticed her just sitting in her litter box, but I've related it to stress as it's always been times where my bed has been inaccessible, and that's where she spends the majority of her time.
The thing that has me worried is her appetite the last 2 days, yesterday she didn't eat much at all. This morning before I left for work she ate a decent amount (wet food), maybe nibbled during the day and had a very small amount when I got home. I've also noticed her licking her lips more often.
I know I'm hyper sensitive after having a very ill cat over a year ago (cancer), now every little thing worries me and makes me want to make a vet visit. I'm not sure if this warrants one right now as she is still eating, although not much... I wonder if its side effects from the medication? (She's been on it for about 3 weeks).
Sorry for the long post, any advice would be really appreciated.
