My cat is feeling under the weather. . .

I travel a lot with my cats cause of my job. my girl cat hasn't been feeling so good for the last couple days. shes not really active or playing with my other cat. Shes not eating so much either. Do you think that traveling is making her upset? Shes about a year old.

Answer
Difficult to say as cats are normally not very keen on change and so would not travel well. Having said that if a cat has been brought up to all this traveling and change from birth then it is quite possible that they would be used to it and not worry.

It may simply be a case that she has picked up a virus like we all do from time to time. keep an eye on her over the next couple of days if she does not improve then your only option is to have her looked at by a vet. hopefully it is just a short lived virus that she will get over.

best wishes Kate
