Answer #1

You touch him? Cats are supposed to be hotter than humans, but you might be able to see if he’s hotter than normal.

I dont know if you’ll be able to get a thermometer anywhere near him, but that’s another option to see if he has a temperature…

Is he eating and using the litter box?

Answer #2

He will calm down after awhile it’s a trama reaction from what happened. Doesn’t a cat run away for a day or too after you acidently kick them or something like that? It’s a reaction. Some act with anger some with fear. Right now my cat won’t come to me because we got her fixed, she was doped up on drugs and now wearing a cone over her head. She runs away constantly.. after her stitches her out.. about a week after she’ll bounce back once he realizes he’s safe he’ll be okay.

Answer #3

Is he hot? My cat got so stressed out by a fight she gave herself a really high temperature and almost died (although my cat is uniquely idiotic).

It’s probably just stress. When cats get stressed out or scared they hiss and dont want you near them. He’ll be ok with time. As long as he’s eating and using the litter box regularly, I’d just give him some time. If there are other signs, or it continues, then you’d want to talk to a vet.

Answer #4
