Answer 1

Lol yes it's very very normal. I had a tom cat and he used to play and play so much but after sometime he just used to sleep sleep sleep , eat sleep , drink water, go poo and then again sleep I was like wtf has gone wrong with him but then suddenly he started to go out at nite so the whole day he used to just sleep.
It's a normal practice for cats to be awake at nite as they see better in the dark then in day light also they catch their preys at nite only. So if a cats doing night shift obviously it will sleep the whole day lol but yea it gets boring for us coz I was certainly most habituated to playing with him or see him play. But I got used to it eventually. When he started to chase the female cats then it beacem all the more worse lol he used to be just go out after them but whenever at home sleep was his main priority.

Newayz maybe they r growing and their hormones are changing so it's definately their time. Just incase u want ask ur VET he will be of help. It's nothing to be worried about till they eat and drink properly.

Answer 2

Two month old kittens will still sleep a lot. However, if they aren't acting like you think they should, you probably should make a vet appointment. They'll need their shots and should be checked for parasites, too. Are your kittens eyes bright and their fur shiny? Sometimes the only sign of the beginning of an illness is the lack of activity. However, if they're still eating and drinking, the vet should be able to help you figure our what's going on. They're still babies, though, so will sleep more than you might think. They can be somewhat nocturnal so could be running around at night when you couldn't see them.

Answer 3

Your kittens are fine, nothing wrong with them at all. If they are eating, drinking and going potty well, then, everything is okay.

Cats are nocturnal, they sleep most of the day and raise cane at night, while you are asleep. It's perfectly normal for them to sleep on and off during the day. That's because they are up most of the night, playing.

But, if you are still in doubt, call your veterinarian and get some advice from them.

I hope I helped ease your mind.

Answer 4

If their behavior has changed so suddenly like this, it could indicate that they have an infection. You should take them to the vet to be checked over (a raised temperature will indicate if there is a problem). If they are eating and drinking, these signs are good, but you should still get them looked at by the vet. I hope they're OK.

Answer 5

Dear Melanie:

Not to be a pessimist, but when you adopted your kitties, were they they tested for FeLV/FIV (feline AIDS/feline leukemia)? The lethargy is one of the symptoms of feline leukemia. I'd have them checked by the vet as soon as possible to rule these two viruses out.

Once the viruses are ruled out, the vet can check them over to see why they are sleeping so much. Maybe they are just really active when you are asleep and you're missing out on all of the fun (lthough my two seem to want to use my body as they playground site at 2:00 am !) :}

Good luck!

Answer 6

The look of feces is very nearly completely based on what's being fed on with the aid of the animal. except the poop is white or it has diarrhea, i does not hassle too a lot. For the checklist, six weeks is in basic terms too early to have a kitten separated from it somewhat is mom & siblings. i might do somewhat diagnosis on the behavioral issues which could ensue while an animal is faraway from the muddle too early. it is going to help you interior the long-term.

Answer 7

Is the weather very hot where you live? If so, this may be the reason. But they could be sick, so have the vet check them. If they have no other symptoms and they eat well though, I think the reason is that babies sleep a lot, in general.
