Hello.I am new to the boards.I had a question,but now it just turned into more of a concern.I have a Tabby cat that I have had since he was only a few weeks old.Too young really,but the owners were getting rid of all the kittens so I took Him since I have had numerous cats since I was 5.I am now 29.
The cat is now about 1 1/2 years old and He was nudered back in the Spring.At that time and never before,He almost ate my Mom up when She went to pick Him up.Thought it was because of the surgery.She has told me since then a few times He has growled,hissed and spit at Her.Once again I thought it was because She took Him and He related that to Her.
Tonight He came in as normal and went under the couch.He has been staying under the bed and couch a LOT for the past month.I went to the bathroom and came back and He was in the computer chair.One of His favorites.I tried to pick Him up,He growled at me.After numerous attempts,He finally jumped at me a little and hissed.Never clawed me.
I dumped Him out of the chair and yelled at Him and He ran down the hall hissing at me,but never turning back.I opened the door and let Him run back into the garage.He went into a sit/kneal sleeping position and would not look at me.I tried to calmly talk to Him because I felt so bad,but He would growl low and He then coughed and made a puking sound but never threw up.
I have heard him cough over and over like a child with something in his throat for as long as I can remember.Thought It was just hair.He finally went to the door and looked back up like He does when He wants inside.His tail was twitching from side to side and I knew He was aggrivated.Ears still laid back some and He would still make the low growl...more of a mrrooowwww sound...but deep.But I let Him back in.
He was acting odd...walking slow with his head kinda turned away from me.He got in one of his chairs and did not want to be touched.I came back in here and he finally sat outside the closed door like normal when He wants in.I let him in and he still acted strange.Got on the couch and I went over and sat down next to him.He climbed onto my lap and got his head as close to my arm as he could like he does when he wants to be close to me.
I heard him wheezing a little and then he coughed bad and jumped.I am concerned now.He is back under the couch coughing/sneezing and making odd sounds.I am worried something is wrong with him and that is why he has been acting this way.Someone please offer some advice.Thank you.
