When I came downstairs this morning Deb said "we have to keep an eye on Skipper, he is crying and didn't come in to eat", and I also heard him cry several times after she left for work. He is about 7 years old, we rescued him from our backyard as he was bitten by something and had cellulitis and the vet said "he's lucky, he would've probably died", is in good health otherwise, shows no signs of any issues etc. but after he was crying and looking at me this morning I went near him and he ran upstairs under the dining room table, so I got a string toy, he loves to play string toy, and he played which was good, so I got some treats and he ate them which is good, but a few minutes later he was downstairs laying in the window sill crying again. He is neutered, has never been a cat that we could get very friendly with, it's more like we see him and say "oh that's right, you live here too", so this morning after I heard him cry the second time I got a cat carrier but couldn't get him, he ran around then finally hid under the sofa and I had to go to work, but we are going to keep a close eye on him and take him if he needs help. He at times does let us pet him, mostly my wife, but he is just a cat that prefers to keep to himself and the other cats rather than us!
A woman I work with who has 40 cats (lives on a farm) said if it was a blockage they usually go near the littler box and cry, but we haven't seen him do that. There also is some tension in the house yet as he and Sylvester whom we took in about 6 months ago have at times "issues" with each other, and the other night 1:30 in the morning we heard some hellatious commotion downstairs but who knows what that was? I also saw him actually cowering to his sister Sabrina last night and those two NEVER fight, but last night something was going on, so maybe it is an emotional issue? He did play string toys last night and seemed fine and seems in good health otherwise.
Any thoughts? We will keep a VERY close watch on him!!
Thank you!
