Hi! I've never seen anything like this before.. I hope you all can give me a little advice or anything at all would be helpful! THANKS!!
Well, I have an one year old cat at home, he seemed lonely at times, so I've decided to adopt another kitty from the shelters!
So here we are... at the shelters... we adopted a 2 months old tebby.. he seemed FINE before we took him home. Today we picked him ( his name is Jixer ) up and finally took him home!! First, he would purrrr like crazy! he loves being held and petted.. I find that to be extremely sweet since my current home cat ( Jerry ) would never let me do that!! HOWEVER, Jixer would do this paw scretching thing with this front paws CONSTANTLY!! doing it to the carpet, my hand, IN THE AIR when he is upside down!! even when he walks!! And I DO mean CONSTANTLY!!! I don't think that's normal at all!! Second. We were trying to get his attention in my bedroom by clipping or making sounds, but he had no reaction towards any kind of sound we made!! Also, when he was chasing the ball around the room, he banged his head to the wall a couple of times! It seemed like he didn't really know where he was going!! The look on his face sometimes tells me that he doesn't know what is going on! like he is spacing out!! Sometimes he would try to MEOW but there isn't any meowing sound coming out of his mouth.. sometimes it does though. He loves to be around me / people especially when he sleeps, like he has to be RIGHT NEXT to me or something!! Is that weird?? And lastly.. he would sleep almost 90% of the time.. oh he sneezed a couple times as well.. I'm going to take him to the vet on Monday.. and till then, im not going to let Jixer out with Jerry in the rest of the apartment. So anyways.. I'm thinking if he's retarted or deaf??
Have any of these happen to any of you? Please give me some advices and what do you guys think the problem is? I'm a bit worried about him.. he doesn't seem normal to me =/ but he is definately a lovely cat!!
