Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2003Kitten Trouble
My Kitten is just 6 months old. We were recently gone for a month and when we returned she'd complete undergone a personality change. She was a normal, sunny natured, playful kitten and now I can't intice her to play or eat. She sleeps a lot. While we were gone the housesitter said she was gone for 2 days and came back with a strange odor. I was guessing she came into heat but don't know. Now she exhibits this strangely lethargicness, vomits and eats very little. If she is pregnant... do cats get morning sickness? > My Kitten is just 6 months old.

Take her to the vet. She may have gotten into something poisonous. It is one of the many dangers for indoor/outdoor cats. Time may be limited if she got poisoned by a plant, antifreeze, or other toxin. Have them spay her while you're there. There's enough unwanted kittens in the world. They can spay her regardless if she's pregnant and if she isn't, she'll keep going into heat every few weeks until she mates (frequency of heat depending on many factors). ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- Hi kaeli , Have you a list of the outdoor plants that are posionous to cats , I have an indoor one but the plants are different outside.! -- Alison > > My Kitten is just 6 months old.

About the third "hit" down will be a site that lists over 500 plants that are poisonous. -MIKE Hi Mike , I found one pertaining to Uk plants as the OP and I are from the Uk Interestingly, it seems that "free roamimg" cats are less at danger fron eating plants than one not free roaming . http://www.cat77.org.uk/articles/poison.htm This list is not exhaustive, but one must also apply a sense of proportion. Even if you uproot all possible harmful plants in your garden a cat could still wander into a neighbour's garden and find them growing there. Some plants smell and taste repulsive to cats and most cats retain many of their wild instincts, therefore they know which plants are edible. However, when a cat leads a more enclosed life and does not have the choice of plants to eat it is less likely to differentiate between good and bad ones.

I really hope she is not pregnant she is far too young :-( I suggest taken her to the vet asap hope everything is fine, if you do not intend to breed her you really should not let her out till you have her spayed and if you do intend to breed her please keep her in until she is at least a year old or her second heat before you let her bred. Then you choose a stud for her don't just let any old male mate her, this is why we have so many ill cats around. Snap blood test should always be done on both Queen and stud before mating! > My Kitten is just 6 months old.

I think you should take your cat to the vet , she sounds ill . Alison > My Kitten is just 6 months old.

It never ceases to amaze me that people post in a newsgroup about something wrong with their cat asking for help without considering taking them to the vet first. You basically left a kitten alone for one month during a very formative period of its life... what did you expect?  Signature"Its the bugs that keep it running." -Joe Canuck I am stunned at eicher62 @yahoo.com who vacantly writes >My Kitten is just 6 months old.

I was guessing she >came into heat... Perhaps you are a TROLL..perhaps just someone who had an attack of being a jerk. Sorry..I lost some diplomacy skills today. I presume you were told of the facts of life at some point in your life. You let an unspayed female cat outside? What plans were made for the kittens - if kittens were born? Were you going to take them all in? Also, I hope that you schooled your not-quite-adult-cat about the differences between red & green traffic signals, how to look both ways before crossing the street, NOT to eat or drink any toxic substances (even car coolant/antifreeze, which is pleasant tasting and causes seizures and a painful death), to avoid any big dogs/wild animals who can maim or kill her, etc. Well, I guess you all are ready to pass judgement on me without knowing all the facts. I only outlined those that I thought were important and was soundly judged without a fair trial. Thanks to those of you that had some helpful input. I hope the rest of you are as nice to animal lovers and you are to animals. You sure have to manners of primates! Don't bother responding to me as I won't bother reading any more of your diabtribe. You were all mostly basically unhelpful. Audious! > I am stunned at eicher62 @yahoo.com who vacantly writes > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > which is pleasant tasting and causes seizures and a painful death), to avoid > any big dogs/wild animals who can maim or kill her, etc. |
