Why is my 5-month-old kitten not playing after recovering from flu?

Question

I have a 5month old kitten who is eating, drinking and going to the toilet normally (besides maybe being less interested in meat than before - still eating some and biscuits though). Besides that he just wants to lay in his hut, not really interested in playing. He played heaps when we first bought him home but now we can barely keep him playing for a few minutes. He had the cat flu but has recovered. Is this something to be concerned about? Or could it be him getting used to the cold weather?

Young kittens should be playful and active and generally don't grow out of this phase until over 12months. I recommend a full vet check to rule out any underlying medical conditions or pain resulting in the lethargy and weakness
