my name is Fatima, i have a concern about my new cat (Meme) , my cat is an adult female not sure of her breed type. i adopted her recently, we already have an adult male cat at home.. everything was fine when her previous owner brought her to us, when she arrived at first she was very scared and isolated and it was understandable.. i read online its normal for cats to be scared when moving to a new environment.
after few days she started walking through the house. slowly she allowed me to touch her but sometimes out of the blue she get aggressive with me and scratch me and bite me.. then she runs back to the corner and start making very loud noises. i read somewhere when cats are angry its better to leave them alone to calm down on their own. at that point it was impossible to take her to the vet because of her behavior.
i noticed she was very thin when i touch her i could feel her bones, she ate more and still no more weight gain.. also sometimes out of the blue she starts making sounds i felt she was in pain she was shaking her head constantly it wakes her up and if i was close by she scratch me for no reason.
after the few days passed i couldn't wait more i felt she was very ill, so i had to take her to the vet. there the doctor examined her it took long time and effort to make her stay in place. he told me that meme had infection in her right ear, also infection caused by worms. he gave her medication for them. and she's doing well now .
then he told me her tail was broken by force and she was not aggressive but defensive and that she had been through trauma and that is the result of her behavior.
i do not know anything about the life she had with her previous owner, the only thing i knew about her before i took her in, was she is a loving cat she loved playing with water loves to sleep on the bed and she have a good appetite.

meme thankfully is recovering well, she gained weight and became more at ease with us. she no longer make loud angry sounds and she sleeps peacefully..
she maybe recovering well but sometimes out of the blue she bites and scratch and refuse to get near us i was told that cat remembers everything specially the pain she got through and there is nothing i could do to her. i don't want to watch her like that without help. she is very nice when she is calm but when she is angry she is very hard to deal with and also she is moody.
any information will be appreciated.Fatima
