Hello all! Obviously I will be taking her to the vet but I wanted to seek some opinions and advice while waiting for my appointment to be scheduled. My female cat, who according to the breeder ( she was a retired breeding cat) was 3 years old when I got her about 8 months ago. The past few days she has been crying in a really strange way I've never heard before, almost like a baby crying. She's also been staring off into space, and just kid of gingerly sits and stares. I did just recently started daycare, and the kids do know not to touch or play with her and she usually stays up above their reach anyway. So I don't think she was grabbed and hurt in anyway. I don't know if this is a stress response to everything new going on or if something is really wrong. I'm just concerned because these are all new behaviors. She's eating normally but does see to be drinking more often, although it has been really hot here the past few days. Any opinions or advice is appreciated, I'm just very concerned!
Also, not sure if this is important information or not, but we do have an un-nutered male kitten. He's definitely getting to the age where he needs to be nutered shorty, often acts crazy, has a bad habit of attacking hands and feet as people walk by. Normally my female with growl or hiss but lately, she hasn't bothered him at all even when he's pouncing on her tail. I'm curious to know if perhaps her strange behavior is because she was a breeding cat an now that there's an of age make it's making her act weird? He isn't spraying that we know of yet, although we'd probably know right away if he was.
