My cat who was taken from vets after she was found by someone in a rubbish bag in graveyard in September 2007, who possibly has an abusive past, has been acting strange recently. I'm not sure about her age; she's about 8-9 years old. For one she already has a meow that sounds more like a squeak (like her vocal chords have been damaged or she hasn't developed out of her kitten voice). Her motor coordination is quite clumsy (she doesn’t move too smoothly), and she's very cautious and apprehensive, and if you don't take her out, she often stays in the same place waiting for you to come - she’s very fearful of new settings.
We also have a german shepherd that’s very tolerant and amicable, along with a male cat from a previous litter, whose sister died of paralysis and diarrhea due to some kind of heart or liver failure, and his mother was run over a week later.
Now my cat has been spending time nuzzling a fruit bowl with her head on the fruit, though she’s probably in heat. She’s also just crapped and urinated on the bed today, and she is probably quite old so I’m not what the cause could be.
Could anybody explain to me why my cat is like this?
