A Very Sleepy Kitten

My kitten is two months old and for the past two days all she really does is sleep. Is something wrong? She's been vetted and has all her shots up to date. We try to stimulate her with toys, but when she goes to play she'll stretch then lay back down and sleep again. She does sleep all night too.

I don't think you have nething to worry about with your kitten. I have a cat who is 1 year old and had him ever since he was weaned from his mom(about 8 weeks).

My kitten also played and slept while he was a kitten. he would sleep all night to. At one year he is very healthy and still a little playful.

The sleeping is mainly because they are growing.

Grown cats can sleep about 18 hours a day...and kittens sleep more since they need the extra energy to grow and develop. When my cats where kittens more than half of the 24 hour day was sleeping. The other was eating, kicking eachother's butts and running.
I don't think you have anything to worry about unless she's not getting up to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom and play alittle.

If you are worried about you kitty and her behaviour has changed, it might be a good idea to call your Vet and ask for advice. It would give you peace of mind.
