Is it normal for a 9-week-old kitten to be so calm and sleep a lot?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 4 days old

Hey, my kitten sleeps A LOT and is very calm. She's the direct opposite of her brother who's full of energy. In the beginning we just thought it was her personality, but we're no longer sure.. Could she be sick? She's around 9 weeks old.

Hello, thank you for your question about Leandra. It is possible that Leandra is just a very docile kitten and has a more mellow personality than her brother. I can’t completely say for sure that there isn’t something more serious going on. You could have her evaluated by a veterinarian to look for any problems such as low blood sugar or possible infections. Hope this helps, good luck!
