Thanks
I have 2 other cats and they occasionally get into it, but nothing serious... I wouldn’t think she’d be injured in that way
I’m not sure, certainly no other interaction with animals
Like I said, even today she’s not licking it or messing with it
4 year old indoor cat, though she will come out on the deck and lay in a chair a few days a week or roll around, etc.
I just noticed this today, it's like a little furless patch on the inside of her front leg. It's pinkish-red, hard to get a great photo.
She's not licking it or anything, and I...
I've read online a little about cat-aggression after returning from the Vet, but how long does this period usually last?
I took one sister to the vet 3 days ago, she was there for about 2 hours, brought her home, and the other sister is still hissing at her and wants nothing to do with her...
He's BACK!
Came home and he was on the deck staring into the kitchen
His days of being a deck-cat are numbered, unless under supervision like you give an infant
4 year old male has been missing for about 12 hours.
I have a deck on the back of the house, and I'll take him out on the deck daily multiple times. He just lays out there, sunbathes, sits in the chairs, hangs out... He's been doing this for about 3 years. I have a fence up at the steps and...
So after eating about 3 cans of food in the last 36 hours or so, today she's out and about acting normal... Even saw her eating the dry food a few time.
Chasing birds around at the window, scraping with the other 2 cats, playing with her toys, etc.
These cats...
Hmmmm
I mean, maybe.
But I'll physically wake her up to eat that canned food, lift her up, put her in a room without the other and she'll eat it all.
Then walk out and go right back to sleep. The vet is calling me tomorrow.
Update: Since buying the Fancy Feast gravy turkey something or another, she's ate 2.5 full cans in about 24 hours...
So, she's willing to eat.
But she's just being SUPER lazy and un-like herself. Usually she wants to play fetch all day, she'll bring her ball and put it on my lap, and if I...
That's kinda what the Vet finally said... Something like "I hate to see you spend more and more money on tests and have me come back to you with, nothing's wrong and she's just being picky/spoiled eater"
She checked her teeth and mouth really well, when she eats I don't see her doing anything...
And just for the record, by people food I'm talking a few fingernail sized pieces.
Plain, nothing on it, just turkey or tiny pieces of other plain meat.
Nope, nothing changed at all
There's 2 other cats in the house, her sister and her brother, so I've kept the old food out for them... It's a buffet now.
She'll eat people food, very well. I've been giving her deli style plain turkey breast. She'll come up and paw at me for it, so again it's...
Basically, they can't find anything physically wrong with her.
Xrays, blood work, barium dye test, general inspection, different foods.
Each time I've brought her in, she wasn't dehydrated and there was stool in her. So she is eating and drinking, it's just noticeably much much less food.
Nope, no fever.
Not disregarding the second opinion, but I really do like this vet. She's the sister of a girl I went to HS with, she's called 3 times to check up on her and has been very good in general.
She basically said that she's ran/done every test that would relate to lack of appetite...
One other thought, her overall behavior has changed as well.
She's been a lot more needy and whiny, wants on my lap A LOT more, and isn't playing as much - which I related to lack of food/energy.
Sleeping a lot more as well.
About 3 weeks ago I noticed that my 2 year old cat was throwing up a few times a day, but because she's a "puker" I didn't think a lot of it.
I kept an eye on it though and eventually took her in when stopped eating as much.
Vet checked her out, same weight, did X-ray, etc
Gave me some...
