It can be a sign of disease. I recommend to have Nikita examined by the veterinarian. Have her blood work checked and the vet may also want to check her for hypothyroidism which can cause lethargy. Since she can't talk and tell you what she is feeling so it's best to play it safe. I hope this helps.
