Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005What's up with Persia?
She's getting all 'feral' on me. Persia is a gentle cat, but since yesterday suddenly she's kicking and clawing and biting me when I pet her. I haven't been able to figure out a 'sore' spot. She's purring and loving and snuggling and rubbing on me one minute, then she starts clawing and biting and snarling the next. This is not like her! This tells me something hurts, but I can't tell what or where. She is eating well, pooping and peeing, drinking regular amounts of water. I'm puzzled. She's not gonna like going to the vet but if she keeps this up, she's going. Mommy doesn't like being scratched and bitten by her cat when all Mommy wants to do is pet the kitty or give her scritches. Something is wrong. Mommy just doesn't know what it is.

And as you say you haven't been able to find any sore spot, I assume the change in behaviour doesn't occur when petting some particular spot. IIRC she was on prescription food for some ailment, right? Let's hope the food does its job. And hopefully it's nothing serious but just something like a temporary tummy ache that passes soon.

She's been on prescription food since last summer. Not a change in diet recently. But now she's settled down and isn't doing the biting kicking thing anymore. Maybe it's the change of seasons? Spring just kicked in here. I don't know, but she's back to her gentle, loving self again. I suppose cats can have moods like people do :) Thanks, Christine.

Could it be kitty cat Spring Fever? > She's getting all 'feral' on me. Persia is a gentle cat, but since > yesterday suddenly she's kicking and clawing and biting me when I pet her.

Psycho is back to her old loveable self again. Bob
