We're not new to cats but new to Bengals and now understand why they are so different! This one is slightly concerning us though, but probably just a bit over worried.
He's 6.5 months old and started going out, out (beyond our garden) about 2 weeks ago. We only let him out during daylight, he seems to have a great time playing with the other cats and chasing flies. Can really see how happy he is now he can finally roam beyond the boundaries. Once or twice it's been getting dark so we've called him in and he's been fine. Around the house and when we only let him in the garden prior to 6 months he was typical (from what I understand) Bengal, a deranged lunatic that had a massive heart and loving side.
The past several days (which have been amazing weather) he's become very wary of going out, but also intensely sleepy and under active, he sleeps all night then usually in the morning is non-stop but now just gets up eats and sleeps again. He went out beyond the garden for about 30 min yesterday but didn't go far, and seemed to only go out when I did. Seems to have become very clingy to me as well. Usually he would literally jump at the opportunity to get up and over the fence. Also seems quieter, not chirping and telling us he's little stories so much.
I've been stroking him to check to see if any pain (like been kicked) and nothing. It's a nice area and plenty of cats around here so unlikely.
Has the big outdoor adventure just worn him out to several days of sleep? He's eating normally, toilet normal, drinking water from anywhere but his bowl (normal). I'm sure all is ok, but anything I should check or do or similar experiences I'd be grateful for.
Thanks
