Typically if bear is eating,drinking and using the litter box appropriately they are not sick. Signs that Bear might be depressed is urinating or defecating outside the litter box, being aggressive, hiding all the time or not eating. If you feel he might be depressed you can start by trying felioway . This is a feline pheromone that can decrease stress.
