In over 20 years of caring for cats, I have never seen anything like this. A cat with no down time?
I understand the gestational cycle for female cats, and I have repeatedly logged out when I should be able to fix the young female that now lives at my house because a 16 year old sister in law "had to have it" for about a month, then didnt want it anymore cause it wasnt fluffy and helpless, it was climbing curtains and gnawing on toes. (A mother that could say no would be a true blessing right now.)
For the 5th month in a row now, the cat has had just 1 day in between the "spastic/desperate phases" on which she was rediculously affectionate. And yet, the very next day when she is to go to the vet, she is caterwalling and trying to eat through window screens again. Next week she is going in to the vet no matter what, and I'll just pay boarding fees until they can get her worked on. But I would still like to know... why does this girl not have that week of downtime?
