it looks like he has one, single longer stripe going down the middle of his back, from shoulders to tail.

And I've noticed the boys aren't licking their bowls clean, right now, sit could be the heat. I didn't expect it would get as warm as it did, inside, and only just checked the thermostat. (It takes a lot for me to feel the heat.)

I'm leaning towards taking him to the vet. I know there's an ointment that is applied to the inside of their ears that helps trigger their appetites. Or, maybe the vet will just ease my mind. He knows my recent history.

him to be on the safe side. I would mention the incident the other day with the flea application.
You mentioned it being warm in the house. My cat isn’t eating as much either in this heat and neither am I.

And if all it does is reassure you that he's okay, it'll be well worth the trip imo.

Your anxiety is 100% understandable, and if having Arthur checked out by the vet will help allay it, I say go for it!

Nothing wrong with getting him checked out at the vet but my guess is he’s fine.
