Hi All---haven't been around for awhile so thought I'd check in with this question. I have two feral cats which have adopted me. For those who may remember me I have one cat named Kiki would not use the litter box. Well, I'm here to report that there has been some progress in that matter. He will use it at night when he decides to stay in, but only for liquid. That's ok, at least it's something. Don't know how I'll get him to do the rest in there.
Anyway, my real question concerns the behavior of the other cat who I have name "Billy". I have had him for about 6 months. He's been around our area for a long time, but nobody claimed him. Billy takes walks with us every night and it's so strange but he'll walk about 100 yards or so and decide to lay down. Doesn't seem to be stressed or out of breath, no panting or anything---he just decides to lay down. He'll then get up and continue the walk sometimes running up the trees or whatever activity he decides to do. I'm just wondering if this is a cause for concern. I mean I've never seen a cat that'll take a rest after so short a distance. He'll do this continually on our walk which usually about 1/2 mile when we're done. He may just be lazy---what do you all think?
Thanks for your help,
