Concerned

Kenta had me worried the past couple of days. Tuesday evening he skipped a meal. This was a first for one who spends his entire day food obsessed. Instead of eating he rolled on his back as I rubbed his tummy as he purred away. But he had no interest in eating. He did eat later in the evening but I had to coerce him into doing so. And I fed him some treats afterward but he didn’t eat them.

Wednesday he dawdled at all his meals. And instead of relaxing in his usual spots, he lay on the kitchen floor just about all evening something he’s never done. He seemed to be moving gingerly up and down the stairs (where usually he tears down them at lightning speed). He was also being a lot more vocal than normal.

Given my financial situation I couldn’t comfortably bring him to the vet to have him looked at let alone having some major procedure need to be done to deal with whatever was ailing him. Yesterday he clearly was feeling better. He ate his food closer to his usual woofing it down like there are no more meals coming. And he joined me in the living room before I was leaving for work which has become our norm. When I got home I saw him sitting in his favorite window. 

He ran down the stairs with his normal forceful speed and he woofed down his meals. Afterward he chased Norma up and down stairs. I hope whatever it was has gone away for good.
