Question about Cats (and I'm definately NOT talking about the musical)

Posted: 6/29/05 at 11:40pm

I just moved to LA from NYC, and took my two cats on a long (traumatic) flight. They are now confined to one room, which was advised for us to do, for a few days until they get used to the smells of the new area. My female looks about ready to explore the whole house, but the male seems extremely depressed and hardly mobile (he han't eaten or drank anything since he got here early this morning). Does anyone know how long this depression will last? Or should I worry?

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

you should try to get him to drink something. they can get dehydrated really easily. he's probably also overwhelmed by new scents. if the female's ready to explore, i don't think it could hurt letting her, although it might be better for the male if there's something familiar (the female) or whatnot. i'd just try to reassure him by petting and talking to him.

take him to the vet. the whole not moving thing could be from dehydration. that sounds exactly like what happened ot my cat as a kitten.
something you can also do to help calm them down is to place a t-shirt you've been wearing all day where they sleep... they will feel more comforted if they are sleeping near something with a familiar smell.
hope it all works out for them
