My cat isn't playful anymore

well cats are more playful during night time coz they are nocturnal animals, so i suggest you try to play with him around that time. try crumpling a piece of paper and throw it his way and see his reaction. (cats are naturally attracted to the sound of paper so chances are he will chase them) but if that doesnt work, try using a string and slide it in front of him or over his body. or use a flashlight and try to rapidly move the light in front of him. my cat usually reacts to those methods eventhough he's now 3 yrs. old. i hope these suggestions will be "effective" to your cat. good luck! tell me if he responded or not. hehe.

Each cat breed is stimulated by something different. For instance, my two striped grey cats love to jump in the air after things. And they chase things around. So I have to get out some string and let them chase it or else they run all over each other, chasing each other around the house. If your cat used to be playful but lounges around a lot, she may have internal health issues that you need to discuss with your vet. Cats have very finiky systems and the slightest little ailment can make them feel off their game. Most cats settle down by the time they are five or six years old and go into middle age. Best of luck with your cat baby! Be well.

Your cat should be seen by a vet. Lethargic behavior like you described can be symptomatic of an illness. Your cat is too young for that to be normal.
