Thanks Medusa and Smokey. She did have ear mites and the vet was aggressive (maybe too much) in removing and treating them. The head hanging and shaking might also be fatigue. I am watching this. It might also be an affectation when she is bored. She seems fine when active. I did pick up the nutrical this afternoon.
She walks stiffly sometimes (Sam has a cork butt walk too) and is thin. Her belly is large though. It is soft and the vet said she was probably 18 weeks. There are three possibilities: 1) she's eating too much, 2) worms, or 3) she is older and pregnant. Time will tell.
She does sleep a lot, but this evening was more active than yesterday. I still think she has a small infection or something, but she is more active and less fearful of the fellas. When she sleeps, it IS like she is in heaven. She stretches out upside-down and is totally relaxed.
I don't think anyone ever played with her. I tried a pen and she watched for a bit. This afternoon I tried string and she did play. This evening I threw the noisy rattly balls for Spunky and LJ chased the balls and toys down the hall a few times. Then she just played a bit. Not very energetic, but this is a marked improvement.
Maybe she is just lowkey, but I'm used to spunky kitties. Sam is playful in a cool kind of way and spunky must mainline catnip. He did earn his name.
I've attached a few pix of her.
