Why is my cat acting like this?

Question

My 4 yr old male bobtail kitty started spinning around in a circle, continuously meeowing, and shaking. Moving around the kitchen floor while still going the circle. Wild eyes. I grabbed him and held him and he seems okay. Called the vet and they said definetly not a siezure. Anyone have any idea why my kitty is acting this way?

Answer 1

Sorry, don't believe you called a vet, they don't make diagnosis over the phone. Make an appt and see the vet for real!

Answer 2

I'm very shocked to hear that you vet didn't say to bring him in right away. That is definitely what I would have instructed a client that called my office with those symptoms to do. I would say it surely does sound like some sort of seizure or inner ear imbalance or even a poisoning of some kind. Take you cat to the vet! Perhaps one other than the one you called.

Answer 3

He might be bored and trying to make a game. get some toys from pet smart like a plasic ball with a bell in it or a mouse with cat nip in it.

My cat was bored and always seemed to run around the living room. then we got him some toys then he seemed fine

Answer 4

My daughters cat began acting this way and the vet diagnosed mini-strokes. Your cat seems young for a stroke, but needs to be seen by a qualified vet.
