My Cat Seems Ill

[gordiescotland1]

I am really concerned about my cat she seems to be unwell. She is off her food and has been acting out of character today she is lying in corners of the room and under chairs and wont let me come near her when I try she hisses which is not like her at all.

[ummmm]

The heat?

It's very probably the heat, gordie - if you are suffering, so is she. Is she still eating, drinking plenty of water, and still going to the toilet as she should be? All our cats are really lethargic in this weather, and just want to be left alone.

However, if you are really worried about it, ring your vet in the morning to get some advice. Not need to take her in unless they ask you to

Now, in some ways I can understand why you put this in "Body and Soul" but you might get more answers if you also put it in "Animals and Nature". Could well be the heat as has been suggested.

She's probably grouchy due to feeling overheated, let her be and let her find the cool spots around your house..Im sure she will be fine. But if no change in the morning and you are still worried then you must ring your vet.

My master is also a bit funny with the heat and humidity, not haring round like a mad thing. Just ensure plenty of fresh water is available.

It could be the weather.............I suppose......

But you haven't told us how long that this is being going on.

If there is no improvement by Monday, then take her to the vet.

It is cooler today Gordie - I hope that she is okay.

Sqad - good advice ~ monitor the situation. Alas your favourite medication is toxic to cats
