HI... I will start off by telling you that my cat LILO (13 months old) has not been LILO for about 2 and a 1/2 weeks. Right around the time that we briught a new kitten home.
Our new kitten (Garfield) ended up being very sick when we bought him. He had coccidia. So I have given him alot of attention.
But I have also made it a point (ecspecially with her being pregnant) to give LILO even MORE attention.
She ended up getting sick to. We never could get a stool sample from her. And she does not use her litter pan. She just goes somewhere outside. But she did go in the litter pan yesturday. And she no longer has loose stool. But she still has her 3rd eyelid. And also when she is sitting or laying down I will go to her to love on her and she will just get up and walk away from me. Or if she is laying down she will get up and move to another spot to lay down. As if she doesnt want me to bother her!!!
But night before last she was so lovey to me!!! And everyone!! I was so happy b/c I thought maybe whatever was making her not be herself was gone.
Her and the new kitten get along now. They have for about a week. They are not best friends or anything but she does go lay with him sometimes. And if he crys for something she runs to check on him.
My question is... what could still be causing her 3rd eyelid? Could it just be stress? Could it be that even though she is comfortable with Garfield that she doesnt feel safe with him with her new kittens on their way any day now?? I feel helpless.
Any suggestoins?
