Pepper is sleeping way more than usual. Is this normal?

She is a 1 year old calico. She used to chase the vacuum (well, run from it) all day. Now she just sits on the couch. I am worried.

yo. my cat Milo does that when he is bored. check if he is eating? if he is, probably fine. if not, vet.

Hello Angela. It is important to rule out medical issues first. Lethargy can be a sign of many things. I would look at Sleeping too much or just lazy? which discusses the difference between napping and illness. Since Pepper is young, I am concerned about stress or infection. Is she using the litter box normally?

Oh no, that sounds scary. I worry about my Bengal Kiwi all the time. She is very energetic but sometimes I think she is tired? Or is it just a phase? I read about heart issues in Monitoring Duke's heart and I am so anxious. Could it be that? Also, does it matter if she is a picky eater like Daisy in Daisy won't eat her food? I am overthinking this, I know. What should I look for? Is it the eyes? The gums? Please help.

@pam_west she is using the litter box. @anna_m98 I dont know about heart stuff. She was at the vet last week. Pepper's recent checkup has the details. They said she was healthy but I am still scared.
