I'm so sorry I hope he will be okay.

I have no tips though. Just do what the vet says. If you are really worried and can afford it try an out of hours vet.

could be. When ?I stuck my 2 in a cattery lst summer- one blossomed into a really confident cat and the other had apparently cowered behind the litter tray for the whole week. Took him a while to recover too. He was only 5 by the way.

That's good to hear Marie, I am glad he is almost back to normal. Like you said keep an eye on him as he is getting on a bit and take him the vets if you are worried.

If he was floppy, he may have had a temperature. Being near the radiator might indicate that as well - you know what it's like when you've got a temperature, you feel cold even when you're not. If I were you I'd take him to the vet for a once-over, just to be on the safe side.
