I'm not an animal psychologist, but I know that many of you will have a better idea on this one than me.

So anyway...when Tanner is alone with me, he basically shows no real life....he is definitely not like the puppy he is. He will sit next to me....motionless....and that's it. His ears are straight back and flat (ear positions mean a lot with cats, not sure about dogs).

So he just kinda lays there....there's no emotion. He'll either lay next to me or on me. Sometimes I'll try to move him to see if I can get some playfulness and there's absolutely none. Hell, even if I call his name or try to talk to him, he hardly responds.

What's the diagnosis?? I know I posted before that he "disliked" me, and I'm sorry for that....that's probably incorrect. There's probably another emotion going on here.
