It sounds like Simba is being lethargic. Unfortunately lethargy is a very general sign of many illnesses, such as an injury, an infection, inflammation, or a systemic illness. Because she has been quieter than usual lately for a long period of time, I do think a visit with the vet is a good idea for a health check. Give your vet a call to set up an appointment for her. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
