![]() ![]() ![]() I'm starting to think my cat has some kind of problem because I don't think a normal cat would act like him! Sage (or Psychotic Demon Child as we've taken to calling him ![]() IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Question: Is this behavior of running into things at full throttle a new behavior or has it just started recently? If he's been doing this since you've returned from the hospital(by the way glad to hear you're back home and doing ok) this may be related to the "psycho kitty" throwing a temper tantrum to let you know that he's not happy with his change of atmosphere for the third time now. Cats have to adjust to their surroundings gradually before they become completely comfortable with it. Not to mention that while you were in the hospital he had to get used to another "owner" your mom as you were not there to care for him as usual. It sounds to me like he's expressing his confusion by bashing into everything in sight to let you know he's not sure of who his mommy is and which location is his true home. However, if this is something new - cats usually don't harm themselves out of the blue like this and it could be related to something neurological or internal thats unrelated to his eyesight. I would suggest a trip to the vet for some consulting and bloodwork. He may have an increased creatin count (white blood cells) which is a sign of an infection internally and the bloodwork will also let you know about his liver, kidney, and pancreas functions - which is also a good thing to know about. If anything this will help rule out anything serious that may be on its way to presenting itself. Hope this helps you in determining what may be going on. Best of luck to you both, and give kitty a hug for me. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() As for the question of bipolarism or schizophrenia - I don't know the answer to that on a factual or scientific level - but as far as I go personally...in my opinion YES! Some times my cats act like they're from another world at times. LOL They can change their moods or personalities at the drop of a hat. And on another little note about your comment on ghosts - I personally feel that they can sense the presence of a spirit or any similar presence. You may think I'm a nut - but I really do believe in them, and that our animals can see or sense them. I hope that the bloodwork helps diagnos the problem but also that its not something that can't be helped with modifications or meds. I wish you both the very best - keep me posted. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Got an earlier appt. with the vet today. His office had an opening which was nice (and rare!). He said we should have results in about two to seven days, depending on how busy his lab is. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's nothing, I feel that he's been through enough before I got him ![]() IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Please let us know the results of your kitty's tests. I'd love to know. I've never heard of that kind of behaviour. I don't feel it's anything connected with you anymore. But I'd really like to know what you find out. Lots of luck. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() Good news! Call from vet today said that tests came back clean. Even better, Sage hasn't run into anything since we brought the puppy home. He's too busy trying to figure out whether to play with her or run from her to pull his "I'm crazy" act. He hasn't even attacked my mom, which is one of his favorite past times. So far he's been a great babysitter and I'm hoping that maybe he just needed a buddy to calm him down. I hope this keeps up. It's nice to have a somewhat "normal" cat who's worst habit is chattering at birds! IP: Logged |
