Why is my cat trembling while lying on me? Should I call the vet?

It sounds like Mary may be in distress. Since she can't talk and tell you what is going on, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian today. she could be painful somewhere in her body including something like painful anal glands or a bladder infection. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Trembling is a general sign and can be seen with several things that go from just being cold or nervous to being an indication of pain or discomfort. If Emmy is otherwise fine, then it would be ok to monitor her for now. However, if at any point she appears to be in discomfort or stops eating or showing any other concerning symptoms, it may be best to have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. Hopefully it is not anything serious. Good luck and have a good day!

Poor Frida Katlo! It could be that she is experiencing some stomach pain, such as from an illness, that is causing her to be more vocal and have her stomach tremble. She could also have a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain, but I would monitor her for now. Should she continue to have these symptoms in 24-48 hours, or she stops eating, drinking, becomes lethargic, or starts vomiting and having diarrhea, I would have Frida seen by a vet.

Hi there, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. These tremors could be a simple thing such as mild irritation to the skin in that area, or something much more concerning such as petit seizures or a symptom of a toxicity. An exam with a vet would really be necessary to determine what's causing Udel's tremors. It's definitely a good sign that she's still active, and if she's acting pretty normal and eating well then you can likely monitor her for a day or two - but if this continues then I recommend scheduling an exam with your vet. If you can, I recommend trying to capture a little video of the tremors, just in case she doesn't do them at the vet's office, so they can see what you're noticing at home. If your vet is providing curbside care, you could e-mail the video for them to see. In the meantime, if Udel starts acting sick, lethargic, unsteady on her feet, or shows any other concerning signs of progressing symptoms, then an ER visit may be necessary today as I'd be worried about a possible toxicity. Hope that helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your Butterfinger. I recommend seeing a veterinarian as this behavior is abnormal and can indicate pain. She may also be scared, running a fever or otherwise sick. The veterinarian will examine her and determine if treatment is needed. I hope this information helps!

When pets have seizures, they are unable to respond to normal stimuli like calling their name. The shivering is still concerning because cats should not shiver. He could be sick and I recommend to have him examined today to play it safe. I hope this helps.

Your cat may be chilly, nervous, or the trembling may be a sign of pain. Because Alex is an older cat it is reasonable to assume he has some degree of arthritis. I would recommend taking Alex in to be examined by your veterinarian. He may benefit from a joint supplementation and/or an anti-inflammatory medication. Best of luck.
