He was probably traumatized-he was being rehomed and he’s so young. We do think he ate and drank, because I was putting out things my very finicky Finn doesn’t like. Finn will only eat a specific flavor of ONE dry brand, but never touched canned food or tuna. Those things were gone and water level went down. Since the kitten, Xander, wasn’t showing on the cam, we thought maybe Finn was eating it after all. Now, we think Xander was just very evasive. He looks fine on cam. He’s still hiding when people are around, but interacting with Finn a bit. We moved everything closer to the fridge for him. I don’t like having a litter box in the kitchen, but we think Xander couldn’t make it down the hall. He pooped in an empty box in the pantryJust wondering about the details that led up to this event...Do you know if something spooked him? Or was he skiddish from the start, and just took his first chance to go into hiding? Was there evidence that he ate anything during this whole time? From my understanding, a cat not eating for several days is dangerous, and they are very likely to find the drive to eat at least something if they get hungry enough. My cat went at least several days without food when he was lost outside 9 years ago, before I found him (he was declawed, so no hunting ability), and he has had permanent health issues as a result of that starvation.
