My cat is always in one spot. Is she sick or hunting a mouse?

It may be her personality. Some cats are more solitary than others. If she had rpeviously been more social, have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Either can cause sudden behavioral changes. Monitor for signs of bulllying or aggression by the other cats as well.

I can understand your concern. Cats can hide illness quite well. But typical signs of illness can include: decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and unusual behavior (like hiding or seeking more attention than normal). If you are still concerned that your kitty may be ill then you can request that your vet do a general health check via bloodwork and urine testing as well. A fecal exam is also indicated if Noushmc is having loose stool. Best wishes and take care.

If your cat is sitting in the corner looking lethargic and won't eat she is probably ill, unfortunately these are very general symptoms that could happen with any disease. if this carries on for more than 24 hours- take her to the vet in order to get it checked and treated.

I can understand your concerns here, especially when you feel you don’t have adequate care for your pets available in your area. Here are some symptoms to watch out for in cats, since they are known to hide disease and some extra tips for caring for Muezza. - coughing - decreased appetite - excessive vomiting (more than once a week) - increased urination or drinking - hiding more than normal - lethargy - pale gums - limping Also it is a good idea to get baseline bloodwork ran on Muezza once a year and a physical exam done twice a year to help keep her healthy. Also feeding her a high quality cat food such as Royal Canin, Hill’s Science diet, Evo or Eukanuba are some good ones to consider. Having a water fountain is also a good idea since most cats aren’t big water drinkers and this will help with their bladder and kidney health. Best wishes with your pet Muezza and I hope she lives a long healthy life. You seem like a caring pet parent and I am confident you will give Muezza the best life she can have. Take care.

Cats may hide if scared or not feeling well. Try to determine is anything has changed around the house that may have spooked her. Any new people or pets, a move, or sudden change in schedule. If you can't think of anything then monitor health closely. Eating, drinking and litter box habits. Notice any vomiting or diarrhea. And if she is acting ill take her in for a vet visit.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Mimcha. Any abnormal behavior or sign of illness that persists, worsens or other signs develop are an indication to see your veterinarian. It's possible she has a kitten still inside of her or other problem going on. Your vet can gather a history, perform an examination and then advise you on any diagnostic tests needed. Possible tests include blood/urine tests and imaging studies such as x-rays/ultrasound. Once a diagnosis is made a sound treatment plan can be implemented. Good luck with Mimcha and happy holidays.

Sudden behavioral changes can sometimes indicate an issue such as pain or illness. If Mel has been hiding she may be feeling stressed or unwell. Scheduling a vet check up if the behavior continues is a good next step. Be sure to also take note if you see any other changes such as decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, etc which can help your vet figure out what may be happening.
