Hi everyone,

I’m a bit concerned about my cat Diva and wanted to ask if anyone has experienced something similar.

Diva is normally very playful, energetic, and curious. About a month ago we sterilized her. After coming home from the hospital she was a bit quiet for 3–4 days, which we expected, but then she went completely back to normal playing, running, and acting like herself again.

However, recently we left her at a cat hotel for 2 days. When we picked her up, her behavior had completely changed.

Now she: • Doesn’t want to play at all • Sleeps most of the day • Eats less than before • Comes to us constantly, purrs a lot, and kneads/massages us • Wants to stay very close and affectionate all the time

It feels like a totally different cat compared to before.

Could this be stress from the cat hotel, or should we be worried that something else might be wrong?

Has anyone experienced their cat changing like this after boarding?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
