Lack of desire to play, as well as a general change in external state - lethargy, inactivity or, conversely, increased activity, anxiety can also be signs that the cat is in pain.

In any case, if you notice strong changes in the animal’s behavior, contact your veterinarian immediately.

In addition, when examining your cat's nose, you should pay attention to the presence of discharge.
