my cat is uncomfortable?

If he is an 'older' cat, it's possible that any of a number of 'old age' problems are troubling him. One of the more likely problems would be arthritis or rheumatism, though digestive problems are quite common. Worming is rather stressful - after all, you are effectively feeding a poison to kill the worms, even though it's not enough to kill the cat: it's bound to be a little unsettling, even if it's probably not dangerous. Of course, he might just be feeling a little 'shaky' and just in need of a little more TLC. If his sight, hearing or sense of smell are beginning to go, he might just be feeling a little less confident of himself rather than actually in pain or uncomfortable.

Hold is your cat? It could be many things, don,t deworm unless you know this is the problem, it can be harmfull to an older animal. He may have arthritis, how active is he?

I agree that it could be joint pain. Check out www.vetsbest.com they have stuff for cats and dogs. Maybe he would like a nice can of salmon with the juice (packed in water of course). I take it that your cat is neutered. If not, maybe he wants to go prowl. Perhaps he smells a female cat in heat. This could be quite possible, whether he is neutered or not. maybe check his feet, perhaps he has a sliver. I wish I could advise the magic remedy but without knowing what is wrong it is not an easy task. i hope he calms down soon. It is best to know what the problem is before giving him any kind of medicine how ever. I hope he gets better too.

You don't say how old he is, but since his coat is shiny, there can't be very much wrong with him. Some cats are naturally talkative or is he more talkative than usual?

Since it's an older cat it could be a number of things. Is he eating? Has he lost any weight? Does the skin and fur sag? Maybe he is just hurt somewhere. If he's still eating and drinking then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Nothing wrong with him. I think he expects from you more than what are you giving him.May be he wants more worm.Older-so what? Old is gold.

Maybe it is Ok,do not worry,Is he eating?if it is eating,Do not worry.May be you take it to go to the doctor and to see it.Best wishes.

Well, I think you did the right thing. A worming never hurts, because parasites are usually the first thing to look for when there is ill thrift of any sort. I worm my cats in the spring and fall every year, preventatively. I have 2 exclusively indoor cats, but they do catch mice in the house, too, so that puts them at risk. I also have 2 exclusively outdoor (barn) cats as well. I take them every 3 yrs for their rabies shots as well as worming them twice in spring and fall. My vet gives me a liquid wormer (for horses), that they use for cats and dogs at a different dosage, which I have written on the label. You give a double dose for tapes, then follow it up with a single dose 10 days later to catch any eggs that have hatched and weren't killed by the first dose. From your description to owlwings, it seems maybe he is having trouble with the jumping, so maybe you can think of some other way to exclude the dog from his cat food and still make it accessible to him. See if that helps.

oh... i think your cat has little trouble with his health. May be VET can only solve his problem, so take it to him as soon as possible. Till you accumulate little money for your cat, feed him lukewarm milk frequently every 4 hours. Make him to sleep for hours so that he can get well soon. Worms are general case with all the pets , so it might not be big problem. Wash him regularly so that many worms are thrown out. Hope your cat would be well soon :)
