Dear friend,

 

I am sorry your boy is acing this way. I don't think it has anything to do with you so please don't take his actions personally..

Cats hide when they are frightened by something, have pain or dont feel well.

 

He may have had a tiff with his sister or saw, heard or smelled something that scared him.

Feel all over his bodyy an look in his mouth for any abnormalities. Check under tongue, roof, cheeck pouches and between teeth.

 

Give him some time to calm down. Make sure the other cat does not boss him around.

 

Get a feliway plug-in at a pet store:

Put rescue remedy in the water:

Put out some smelly canned food or tuna.

 

As long as he is eating and urinating fine I would not be overly concerned.Just give him time.

 

Please let me know how things go.

 

Best wishes for him,

 

Terri
