Cat Chat Feline Forum

I'm finding that Cindy is wanting so much more fuss than usual now - she comes right up to my face, wants to sit right on top of me when I'm sitting up in bed and puts her face right up close to my hand to make me stroke her. This is happening so much more since there seems to be something not quite...

Thank you so much for your replies. I have actually been to Easipet in Chatham who did do an examination under sedation so I guess the next step is more invasive investigation such as x-ray, but I'm going to make sure this is definitely the right way to go before I embark on another traumatic and ex...

Is it possible to upload a video onto this site as it's so hard to describe exactly what Cindy is doing? Problem is I don't want to go down the road of expensive dental investigations unless I'm pretty sure it will be conclusive? Also Cindy does find vets pretty traumatic so it would be good if some...

I've been to the vet and she had a really good look in Cindy's mouth and could only see a bit of tartar on her teeth and nothing at all wrong with the teeth at all. I'm wondering now if she's almost constantly got a bad taste in her mouth, which is preventing her eating anything much? Does anybody k...

Update - well it looks like it's going to have to be a visit to the vet!! She's now hardly eating anything and is doing that strange thing with her mouth more often . I know it's going to be another lot of expense but I hate to see her like this

My 13 year old cat Cindy is randomly making chewing movements, and not just after she's eaten - it's as though she's got something stuck in her mouth and can't get rid of it? It doesn't seem to distress her much and it hasn't affected her appetite but it has been happening now on and off for several...

My 13 year old cat Cindy has just had a thyroidectomy as I went to vet saying she had been vomiting small amounts of food for some time and after having blood tests she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I'm feeling a bit concerned now as she is now showing all the really restless symptoms of hyper...

This was all very interesting to read as my cat Cindy has just had a thyroidectomy but ever since the op she's been showing all the real restlessness symptoms of hyperthyroidism that she was showing none of before the op and I was beginning to think I'd paid a lot of money to put Cindy through an op...

I took her to vet and he thinks it's overactive thyroid - one thing I didn't mention was her increase in appetite, which is a definite symptom of this. I'm glad I took your advice as she's had blood tests to check this, which also showed she has slight problems with her liver

My 13 year old female cat keeps vomiting little bits of food intermittently. She's been doing it for around a month now but it hasn't affected her appetite. She also seems a bit restless. Would it be a good idea to get her checked out by a vet?
