I know I've written about Festra on the herpes virus thread but I'm hoping more people might read this under a new thread and it may not be connected with the virus.
I bought a 4 year old Persian from a private home just over 5 weeks ago. Over the last week I have noticed a pattern developing - she is extremely playful and active, very affectionate and eats well for one or two days and then has about a day or half a day when she eats nothing, is sick (but only a bit of liquid) is lethargic and listless, doesn't want attention too much (although she will purr) she basically sleeps or just sits around doing nothing but not sleeping. She's like a different cat and just doesn't seem happy. Yesterday she went to the vets to get her jabs as we didn't have any documentation from previous owner and mentioned she was being sick sometimes and not eating but he didn't seem to think it was anything to worry about.
This morning she was out playing and climbing trees and then I went out and since I got back, she has barely moved. She hasn't eaten anything for about 24 hours. Does anybody have simialr experiences or think I should be worried about this or is she still settling in to her new home. Any advice is much appreciated as I hate seeing her being so listless when she is normally so playful. Sorry for long post.
