I need cat advice!

You're Welcome. Okay so she has used the litter box. that is the biggest concern. She is drinking to so that is good also. Maybe she just had a bas reaction to the anesthetic. I understand that she is like a wild cat. I would try to do as little as possible around her so that she doesn't have to run quick like lightening. It is said that if an animal is too active, too quickly after a spay they can get a hernia. Just let her relax then. Keep food and water replenished. Little box clean and available. I trust that since the vet doesn't seemed concerned and since she is becoming more responsive, that I would just give her space. She wll come around. Thank you for the update. i am glad that you went ahead and called the vet. I imagine it is hard to watch your cat like this. Although in another month and surely another six months, you will be glad that you have had her spayed. I almost regretted having my dog spayed. Especially only weeks later I seen a Maltese giving birth on YoutTube. Was the most precious thing. I cried but I am glad my girl is spayed. She will be better off. Too small to give birth anyway, unless she possibly had a C section. It is what is best. Now you don't ever have to worry about who is getting the babies as pets. That was my biggest concern and deciding factor. Best to you!

Thank you very much for the response. I called her vet...he doesn't seem to be concerned. I see that she came out last night some time and drank a little water and used her litter box. She doesn't seem to be in any pain. She has no problem running full speed is someone tries to talk her out from under the bed. She honestly is like a wild cat. If I don't sneak up on her in the closet she takes off running. I can't really sit anywhere with her...unless I hold her down which wouldn't help her at all. She is really acting like she's never seen a human before. It's the strangest thing. I am definitely regretting having her spayed. I guess I'll just keep checking to see that she's at least drank some water. I did get some soft food for her...I imagine she'll come out tonight and eat some. Thank you :)

Thanks for for your reply. I appreciate it. I think she may be getting a bit better. She's reacting better to me petting her in the closet. She's started to purr a bit, and even moved her head towards me a couple times. She came out last night and watched us from a distance. After we went to bed, she came out and ate some soft food, drank water and milk, and went to sleep by the fire. She's back hiding today, but I think she's getting better. Or, I hope she's getting better at least. Thank you very much for your response.

That is true about the vet. My little dog had no problem at the vet. One day i took her to be spayed. Two months later we stopped in for her to get weighed and she was shaking like mad. She was so afraid. Hope the cat doesn't have to go back to the doctor.

I really hope she'll come out of this. She seems to have gone completely wild. Imagine catching a wild cat and sticking it in your house...that's what I'm dealing with. Ugh, so stressful. Thank you for the responses though. They are appreciated!

I called and the vet didn't seem to be concerned at all. Unfortunately, I live in a very small town and he's the only vet here.

5 days is too long to be still not eating. I can see the cat being upset, but she should be getting over it.

Chloe is doing great now. Yesterday my daughter went into the bedroom for a toy, and came out crawling on all fours with Chloe following right behind. They've since been inseparable just like before. I've never seen a cat and child be so close, especially a 3 year old child. She's eating and drinking lots and today has been running, jumping, and playing. She won't let me pet her, but she wouldn't before either. She's a very skittish cat with everyone except "her human". I appreciate all the help though. I'm very relieved to see her acting normal again. Thank you all!

I'm glad to hear that, thanks for the update!

Nope, I didn't have her declawed. Only spayed. She does seem to be a little better today, though she's still hiding. She did come out and eat and drink last night, so that's good. Now that she's eaten, I'm not as concerned for her health. I suppose I'll just wait and hope that she comes around again. Thank you for your response.

THANK YOU so much for responding. I am so relieved that she has eaten. I feel so much better now. Please keep her quiet for the next week or so. I know all of these other wonderful people feel that this is not unusual but I have never experieced anything like this and have been very concerned. I am still concerned about a reaction with your baby. So take one step at a time. Unfortunatley, when I was a newbie to my own cat ownership, I had a cat declawed. She was a kitten. Everything seemed fine and I had been exposed to declawed cats before with no consequences. One day she escaped from the apartment I had in an old mansion. She ran down to the basement and when she got to the door of the caretaker she went berazerk. I got her back into my apartment and everything was fine. She was about a year old the next 4th of July, I had a friend stop in and a few moments later her husband came to the door with her toddler son. My cat raced halfway to the husband and son and started screeching and I have never seen anything so horrible in cat behavior in my life. She looked like something out of a horror movie. Ever after that she was unfriendly to me, did not want to be touched very much and attacked several people that came to visit me. She climbed up one of my landlords when he came to do work in my apartment and did some work and he kicked her off and she ran up his body again. She would sleep touching me but if I pulled her to me she would let me know not to touch her. She allowed me to hold her when I came home and when I got up in the morning for a few moments and then that was all. I do believe that the caretaker of the first apartment went into my apartment, found her and hit her. That is the only thing that I can assume that happened. He was not told by my landlady that I had permission to have her.

Thank you very much for all the info. I appreciate it!

Thank you. The vet doesn't seem to be concerned. I'll just keep watching her I guess. Hopefully she comes out of this. Thanks

Just to add, even if you live in a small town, find another vet.

Thanks for the response. I'll just continue like I'm doing and hope she comes out of this. Thank you

Thank you for your reply. I called her vet, and he does not seem to be concerned. He said she should be fine in a few days. That was about all he said. So, I'll just keep watching her I guess. Thanks!

I was sure that is what the vet would say but as a breeder, I knew that any change like that should be reported to the vet in case there was something that happened that you are not aware of. Best of luck with your "baby".

She can't be pregnant, she was just spayed. That is what started all this. Thank you for your response though.

I agree. I think everything was just too stressful for her. She's eaten some now, and drank, so that was my biggest worry. I'll just wait and hopefully she will trust us again. I will look into the homeopathic remedies though, that's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you for your response.
