He kinda moved in before we got him, got home from being on holiday on a snowy night & he was lying in Karma’s bed 😂 Came in through our cat flap.

I know you can't tell totally until you see him but he gets extremely distressed at the cat box/car travel and I don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to." He polished off a whole pouch of cat food and licked the bowl clean whilst I was on the phone, and has had a drink of water. He just seems his normal grumpy self, letting me fuss him, had some ham off me too. He doesn't seem to be distressed or uncomfortable. I hate feeling like a bad cat parent

Vixx Jan 2024 5:52pm, 28 Jan 2024 2,082 posts	0 Vixx I am, and when he went out just I watched him as he doesn't leave the garden anyway and he just had a good drink. He's peeing fine, and eating fine, but because I hadn't really thought about the pooing thing until the neughbour mentioned yesterday, I am not entirely certain if he has gone in the last two or three days. I know he definitely went on Wed as I left it in the litter tray in case the vet wanted a sample or anything. He's hurled up furballs in the last 2 days too. If i have to take him I will, but there are two clinics that I can take him to and both are about 30 mins away (in different directions). Our vet is less than 5 minutes, and it's the distress he'll get into just going into the box that worries me too.
