Your cat is suffering from what we vets haven’t found a word for. His condition is typified by total physical inertia, absence of interest in its ambience - what we vets call “environment” - failure to respond to the conventional external stimuli - a ball of string, a nice juicy mouse, a bird. To be blunt, your cat is in a rut. It’s the old Stockbroker Syndrome, the suburban _fin de siecle ennui, angst, weltschmertz_, call it what you will.
