Asleep on bedding in top cubby, woke when door opened. Lay in place, looked up, eyes dilated. Started lip licking when touched, then turned head away, tolerated all pets with no real response.

Small improvement. Curled up in litter box, dozing. Became alert when door opened. Lifted head, continued to lay in place. Allowed touch, some lip licking at first, then began to lean into pets, extended neck for throat scratches, purred quietly. Curled up again after door closed, depressed?
