Hello all!
I adopted a cat recently to save him from in-home euthanasia. He was very loving and affectionate when I first brought him home and confined him to my spare bed room. Out of nowhere, he started to moan and hiss at me and hide when just hours before he was rolling all over the floor and letting me pet him and just being a ham! I even watched him eat some of his food and we even played a little bit.
A day later, he refuses to drink water, eat food, and hasn’t touched his litter box (expect the 1st day he just laid in it, never used it, was very strange) and I don’t know what to do. I haven’t forced pet him since he started hissing at me. I’m concerned about the water intake and not using the litter box at all. I know it’s only been two days but how long can a cat go without drinking water? I am very nervous for him.
He’s updated on his shots and his previous owner took good care of him so I’m hoping it’s not a health problem.
