My Ocicat, Bubby, has gotten extremely skinny since my other cat had her kittens. He does not have any signs of distemper, he just is very depressed and most often, he chooses not to eat when the others are fed. I've even tried feeding him in on my bed, by hand, and still he is only eating a few bites then he indicates he is done. Rarely is he active lately, he's rather lethargic and sleeps most of the time. I believe it is an emotional problem, due to the sad behavior and depression he exibits. He is now so skinny, I'm scared. He is still loving but only when the other cats are not around or sleeping. I don't know what to do, he is 7 years old- is it old age? Do Ocicats have a lower life expectancy than other cats? Thank You in your consideration of my concern, and taking time to answer. -Ginny
