I have a 12 year old male cat, who's always been extremely sweet and affectionate. He'd wrap his arms around your neck and purr and kiss your ears. Our friends and neighbors know him and love him. He's also a great climber and loves to hang from doorways.
About 5 nights ago, we noticed he seemed to be alittle deppressed, like he was feeling under the weather. But he was eating normally, drinking and since he is an outdoor-potty cat we assume he's going to the bathroom as normal since he leaves a few times during the day to go outside.
Within about 24 hours we noticed he was being less responsive to affection and seemed almost freaked out.
You pick him up and he shrinks up, all stiff and tense, and won't make eye contact. He tends to sit on the corner of the bed with his face in the wall, or huddled on a pillow. Normally you can get him to relax to the point of jello by a good belly rub, but now he just stays stiffly in your arms...
