He's started playing with his toys again  :wow:
It was only for about a minute, but it was something. He's fast asleep now and is getting so much extra attention off us  :evillaugh:

Let's hope it's just a huff and he is coming round to being friends and forgiving you again

I have been in contact with my vet and described all his symptoms over the phone. She doesn't want me to bring him yet as she doesn't want to put any stress on him. I've been given some advice and i'm to see how he is for the next couple of days. If he worsens or doesn't improve, we're to take him in on Friday.

We were away during the new year with my family in Wales and my boyfriends mother was coming in and feeding the cats for us. I wonder if he's maybe still in a huff about it.

At the moment he's sleeping on his cat post...snoring  :evillaugh: I might wake him up soon and see if he wants some tuna.

Silvie's had a bit of one of those recently - I was away at my mum's for a few days (my lovely neighbours feed her and the piggies for me) and she was in a huff, as usual, when I got back!  Huff usually only lasts a few hours though and this one lasted almost a week!  I think it was probably double huff though cos prior to going to my mum's I was on holiday from work and therefore doing a lot of sitting in front of the telly so she had a lot of lap time.  When I got back from my mum's I was back to work.  She's only just got around to bothering to sit on my lap again now, a week later!
Look forward to hearing what the vet says about Taco though. x

He's got a bit more strength today. And he's been a bit more chatty so hopefully, he's just had some feline blues and nothing else

Ahhh bless him ... he might just be feeling a bit fed up and feeling a bit cold.

Zephyr was like this a few days ago ... he wouldn't come out of the airing cupboard, didn't want to be disturbed and didn't even come to see me in bed  :(  He  was just really quiet and sad looking.  After a couple of days he was back to his usual annoying lovely self so not sure what was up with him.
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Let us know how you get on, maybe Taco is feeling a little under the weather like we all do from time to time.

No suggestions but if you are worried pop him into the vet just to be on the safe side? :hug:

Literally a couple of days ago, Taco didn't seem like himself  :(
He's usually very chatty, playfull and he gets very excited when it's dinner time (bless him, he loves his food  :evillaugh:)

But now, he seems a little lethargic. He's less playfull and doesn't get as excited for his food as he used too.

He is still eating, drinking and pooping fine. There's nothing i can see wrong with him from the outside.

I've even fed him seperately from the others to moniter how much he's eating, and he's eating a normal amount. He doesn't have any discharge from the eyes or nose. So i'm at a complete loss.
We've only just managed to stop Holly from having diahorrea (a couple of weeks ago). And now Taco seems down in the dumps. Any ideas?  :(
