Cats hide when they're feeling ill. Why? Survival. In the wild they wouldn't want any other predators to find them without the ability to escape or defend themselves. If you notice your #cat is doing any of the following contact a veterinarian right away: 👀 It is hiding a lot more than normal 💤 Is overly tired 😔 Refuses to play with its favorite toy 💇‍♀️ Is shedding more than usual 💧 Has a weird discharge from eyes, nose, mouth or other areas 🚽 Changes their potty schedule abruptly 😬 Generally looks or acts differently than normal #cathealth #pethealth #veterinarian #catmom #catdad #purring
