Have a 3 yr old neutered cat. She has always been a little "different" to previous cats I have had. Although she can be sensitive, she can also be a little nasty to us, but attacking us out of the blue.. but finally she settled down in our home after 2 yrs.
We have just come back from holiday, and as she is sensitive we get people in rather than a cattery, she gets to stay in her home and she can be very territorial.
We arrived home and the people that had stayed (Friends of friends) had trashed our home, stole money and smoked cannabis all over the house, It has been 5 days now and you can still smell it, although we are gradually getting rid. The litter tray wasn't emptied in the week and no litter was used. She goes out side but only for short breaks. I am certain that these people have either bullied, left her out or she has got high on cannabis.
She has changed her ways.. she darts about, she is laying in places that she never ever laid in before.. like tonight I chopped onions, turned my back and she was laying on the work top on top of the skins! She usually don't go on the work tops as I don't allow it, but now she is all over. She lays in a tiny gap in the lounge between the stereo and alcove! She is coming up to bed with us and instead of laying on our bed as usual she knocks everything on the floor and sleeps on the bedside cabinet. She is off her food, but she ate tuna last night. Although she is eating certain flavours. She has always been a fussy eater. She has also got fleas now and I treated her with advantage straight away.. The first evening we weere home she cried really loudly at the ceiling and we didn't know what to do, you can't always approach her as she attacks. She lays on my lap and looks settled, then she jumps up and flies around the house like a nutter.. I am so worried about her, should I take her to the vets? I hate taking her as she puts her self back with the trauma of the journey etc.. I just feel so sorry for her I want to make her feel right again. Can anyone help me?
