Why is my 4-month-old kitten sleeping more? Is she sick or normal?

Question

I got a 4 month old kitten 4 days ago and the first two days she slept about half the day and the other half was awake and playing. Today she has been napping most of the day and only plays for short periods while awake. She is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally. Could she be sick or is she just getting more used to being here and more comfortable so she is sleeping more? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 months and 7 days old | 4 lbs

Kittens will tend to sleep more because they are growing, and they can actually sleep as much as 16-20 hours a day sleeping. It's good that Pickle is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom normally, and it sounds like from your description that she is doing what kittens normally do by sleeping a lot. I would not be worried about it, play with her and interact with her when she's awake. I hope this helps :-)
