My cat is aggressive and cries after running away, what happened?

I think it is normal behavior for a cat that just got wrangled out from under a deck. Cats really hate to be forced to do anything and when they get in that hyper-excitable state, they tend to be grumpy for a while. Give her a little space for about 30 minutes and see if she calms down. Sometimes it takes a day or two, before they return to normal. If she continues to be abnormally grumpy for longer than 30 minutes, then I would be concerned that she may be hurt. Check her for any obvious injuries and if you find anything concerning, then it's best to have her checked by a vet.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kitty Mucher. If she spends time outdoors, then I worry that she sustained an injury. Cat bite wounds are common and could explain her abrupt change in behavior. If she is not acting normal by the time you return home today, then she will need to see her veterinarian. If she does have a wound (and they can be hard to find), she will require treatment. I hope this information helps!

Hi there. The very best thing for Jinxx is to let her take her time warming back up to you. Allow her smaller amounts of food and plenty of fresh water until she gets used to eating well again. She has probably had a rough adventure from the sound of it! She is probably scared more than anything-most return to normal behavior after a few weeks of TLC and patience at home. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry to hear your cat ran away! It would be best to place out a carrier or humane trap with food in it to see if you can try to catch him, or leave out a dish of food nearby for him to return to. Cats are enticed by smell, so making it smelly or using something such as heated chicken may help, however you also run the risk of attracting wild animals as well. Letting any local animal shelters or neighbors know to keep an eye out for your cat may also help alert you to where he is so you can catch him. As for in the house, making sure each cat has their own space to rest and relax when you can't watch them, and that they can all get to food, water, litter, etc without being bothered by another cat can help reduce fighting. A pheromone diffuser such as Comfort Zone can also help with intercat aggression. If the aggression is continuing or worsening, a vet exam to rule out pain or illness which can cause behavioral changes is best as well.

It's possible he is being skittish, just enjoys being outdoors, or has been injured and so won't approach you. It may be a good idea to contact your local animal shelter for a humane trap (one that doesn't hurt them when they enter it). You can then place it in his usual hangout spot with some smelly food (heated chicken or canned food) to entice him to enter. Once he's safely captured, bringing him to your vet to make sure he's OK after being out so long is best, and from there you can get him settled back in indoors.

Poor Sebastian. He could be scared or traumatized from being outside. He may have gotten into a fight while being on his own and he could be hurt. Sometimes when vets are hurt they will be skoddosh because they don't want people touching them. If there is a way a trap him and take him to the vet for an exam, you may want to do that. Just be careful to not get bit. Also you could try to offer him some cat food and treats and see if you can regain his trust. I hope he starts to come around for you.

Your kitty is not feeling well. I suggest you take her to a veterinarian for a check up and blood tests. She may be ill, and therefore defensive when the other cats come near her. She may also need special food to gain weight properly .
