Small Kitten Hates Moving Around?

[leopard_cats]

I have two Bengal kittens. My male does NOT like moving or jumping. In general, he plays well with his sister and seems to eat and use the litterbox. My only problem is that he doesn't really like jumping or moving. He would mostly stay on the floor, and rarely climbs anything, and when he is on higher ground (for example a cat tree) he just meows sadly as if he doesn't know what to do.
He also HATES being picked up. If he gets picked up or petted, he will purr, but scream loudly and try to get away. Every night after he eats, he often acts like he is about to vomit, but the next day he seems ok? I never had a cat before so I'm scared for his health.

Have you discussed this with your vet? He will want to make sure he doesn’t have something going on that is affecting his eating and moving.

not this specifically, but he has been checked by the vet less than a week ago, and showed the same signs of not really moving, and screaming when he got picked up. The vet said nothing specifically about the matter. We assume it's his personality, but I have NEVER in my life seen a Bengal kitten that refuses to jump on and off furniture.

Well, there are some cats that prefer the ground to up high but it is worrisome in a young cat who should be tearing the place up. The screaming when getting picked up is also perfectly normal for some cats but the way he acts after eating isnt. I guess I would still want that checked by the vet.

Your kitten sounds a lot like one of mine. He's quite laid back though his easy going personality does worry me that he's not getting much exercise. He doesn't seem to be interested in "kitten things" e.g. toys like my other kitten is either. I think it could just be your kitten's personality, some are more laid back than others. If you're getting concerned though I would settle any worries with the vet.
