Thread: New cat

    I'm back!!!

    The cat has become dangerous.

    Had the cat for three months. Overall she has been a fun cat. A little destructive and bites when she wants attention.

    However, lately (last three days) she is in attack mode. Can't get near her. I pet her and she seems to like it. Then all of a sudden wham she bites.

    Also noticed she is whipping her tail all the time. A show of anger.

    Plus she hasn't destroyed the carrot. Usually last 4 days at the most. Almost untouched.

    I am wondering if she is sick. She is eating normal and cat box activity seems normal.

  2. My dads cat is like that. i learned to pay attention to his body lingo. if he pins his ears back with a few swishes of his tail its time to stop petting him an leave him alone unless you want your arm/hand getting turned into menace meat next.

    Please give the vet a call, as soon as you can. Something is going on with her, whether physically or behaviorally. Has something changed in your household routine?

    What with the Labor Day holiday, are the regular vets closed for the long weekend? Do they have an emergency number, or can you leave a message for them about what's going on and maybe someone checks the line who might call you back before Tuesday?

    Meanwhile, I'd say give her some space. Keep up your regular routine of feeding and scooping the litter and cleaning things up, as calmly as you can. Don't act scared of her, but let her approach you if she's friendly. And if she's in attack mode, stay out of her way. If you give a stern "NO!" and move away when she starts acting up, will she hold back?

    I wish I could wave my magic wand and make things all better! My kitty Sparkler and I are sending along loads of loving good wishes and warm healing energies to you both. Thank you so very much, from the bottoms of our hearts, for bringing this scared girl in, welcoming her Home and working so hard with her and loving her. Blessings to you all.

    I gave Lily's arse a wee scrub today....she took it like a champ!!😻😻 She seems to avoid that area lately. Can't say as I blames her 😬🙈. I'm pretty sure after a couple days off, licking your own arse, pretty unpleasant.
