This is a sad question, but thanks for asking.  Cats that were with me, and were outdoor cats (yes, I now realize how risky that is for the cat, and now convince cats to enjoy indoors), would disappear outside.  My most recent older cat, when he died of kidney failure, wanted my companionship...

It does sound as if you and your cat need calm time together, as others have already said.  Have you tried using a cat-calming spray (Feliway is the best known, but I've only used one called Cat Calm, which helped a lot when we moved) or putting some of dried, calming herbs around?  Lavender or...

My cat just recovered from a bladder infection, and I had to give her a pill twice a day for 10 days. I sat down and held her firmly but lovingly with her spine against my chest. Then I caught her head, and tilted her mouth up.  That's when I pressed against both sides of her mouth, to get her...

We've found it really important to play with our cats for 15 minutes or so (up to 30 minutes) every evening after their dinner.  Strings on sticks, stuffed little toys to chase (and I've asked here about problems with one cat playing while the other one just gets jealous) and other toys will use...

Talk (by phone if necessary) to the vet before you give her anything.  It's not a good idea when someone/some kitty is this out-of-normal to be just doing what sounds good.

One idea I've used is to brush the older cats ONLY around the head and neck (which is the "friendly" part of the scent of cats) with a soft new brush, and brush the new cat with the same brush in the same places, basically mixing the friendly scents, then using the same brush, do it again with...

Our cat needed a few weeks to get used to the cat food we give her, and ate little for that time.  She now loves it, but I had to give her just a little of the canned food and let her eat a little, and then eat dry food.  I've never found that different food options are something a cat wants...

Yes, the older one insisted on playing every single evening right as we are eating our dinner (she eats first, or we could not eat at all). 10 minutes of me on the floor sliding a toy or throwing something for her to chase would be fun.  The laser dot makes her act like she is on seriously...

We have 2 cats, about 2 years apart  in age.  Since we've had the younger one, the older one will not play when the younger one starts to play with the toy we are using.  Then the older one gets annoyed because she wants to play, but seems to feel pushed aside by the younger one.  We've tried...
