Cats, fireworks, third eyelids, aggressive demeanour?
my cat is acting very aggressively at the moment. but all of a sudden she will switch and be all over you!
she also have her third eyelid showing and seems to just be very underneath the weather with fighting scabs and all sorts.
she have been extremely aggressive tonight growling, hissing and scratching everyone when they go towards her. it's comprehensible somethings wrong but is it just the fireworks and general under the weatherness? or is nearby something wrong?
Sounds like a trip to the vets is in charge. If she has scabs all over, she might have some disease or an infection. Hopefully, she is an indoor cat, fixed and near all her shots. I'd still take her to the vet for a check up. Some cat diseases are communicable to humans.
try some 'Feliway' spray- contains pheromones and really calms my 3 down. Try disappearing the TV/radio on when there are fireworks - blocks out the noise a bit. I ended up second night with the TV, radio, dishwasher and washing mechanism going just to drown out the noise.
if the demeanour lasts past the firework season maybe take her checked out by the vet- could just be that she is growing up and being a typical teenager (how frail is she?)
It could just be the fireworks, wait until tomorrow whether she is still not the same maybe call the vet and ask whether you should come in. I'm sure it's just the excitement
An unusually aggressive cat covered in scabs beside its third eyelid showing means a vet visit, no questions asked. Fireworks are probably simply exacerbating whatever the problem is.
Answers: cats don't really get "under the weather" like you or i do, and because she is acting aggressive (which is out of character) i would conspicuously take her into the vet just to get looked over. check adjectives her war wounds b/c cat scratches can easily abscess and smoothly infect her entire body. the third eyelid showing is also concerning as she may have damaged it in a conflict, or possibly she does have an infection which is affecting the nerves of her eyelid. most pets will be freaked out by loud commotions only as they're happening, but are hurried to resume normal behavior once the noise has stopped. this distinctly sounds like a trip to the vet's office for you. I hope it's not too serious
Sound resembling my wive. SO much wrong.
