Cats'll do that from time to time. Jeez....

grab it by the tail, spin it fast and let go.

She's never done this before. The worst she would do is nip and take swipes at EvilBenFranklin and I. This time, though, I had to make the

bleeding stop and then wrap my hand in gauze because she'd bit so many places on my hand before I got her to stop. This was BAD.

oh man!

It's a good thing I have my First Responder certification or I wouldn't have ever created a crash kit like I have. It came in use today.

That is horrible. Hope it isn't a sign of impending psychosis.

I put her in her carrier, though. I've only done that to her one other time, so she knows she messed up big time.

She was already a bit on the lunatic fringe . . . She seemed to be getting better, isle. I dunno what caused this. It makes me sad, though.

does she have kittens? or getting to be around a year old?

She's about five and she's spayed, so she's never had - nor can she have - kittens.

She doesn't go outside, either. I think we're going to have to take her to the vet and see if we can figure out what's going on here.

wow then, can't really figure what would trigger that kind of behavior then... seems a bit extreme for jsut a 'mood'

*nods* . . . It does to me, too. I'm quite stumped by this one.

hope your hand gets better fast, bet it will be sore as hell. Something about cat bites and scratches, they have a little extra "hurtyness'

It stings and is sore now. I'm hoping t doesn't last too long. Thank you, isle for wishing me well. My luck sucks this week, it seems.

The only thing I can figure is, she's still a little freaked out by the move - the only other time she's gotten me that bad was when...

be careful with those punctures. Cats have a nasty bacteria in their mouth thats good for causing infection.

...she was really, REALLY freaked out, and I tried to pet her to calm her down.

Eep! I didn't know that, phillygirl! And with my immune system being dow because of this flu thing . . . Oi vey.

Yeah, but she didn't seem freaked, hon. She was quiet and purring and walked up to me and then when I put my hand out, she spazzed out.

it'll be ok, soak hand in warm slightly salty water to keep the puncture clean. If its open try and get some antibiotic oinkment in there

sounds like she jsut took a moody notion to be killer cat. I have read somwehre that certain chemical additives or foods can affect mood

vet could likely help when you go in

So noted, phillygirl and isle. All of that is very helpful information to have because I had no idea on either count. I'm clueless here.

Sorry to know that. Maybe the cat's stressed from the move?

I noticed last night while you had incense burning that she was acting a little different than normal.

Alternately stalk-y and lovey. She let me pet her for about 10-20 minutes, which is not usual for her.

owie!!! hurry and drink some alcohol to kill the germs!!!!

Please go get a tetanus shot if you're not up to date on that, reese. I had a cat bite and it got infected within a day.

I'm so sorry about your kitty being highly stressed right now, I agree with Mo it's probably from the move.

Feoria lost it when we moved her and she's been a bit skittish ever since.

agrees with trinners, less then 12 hours for infection to set in if its a puncture...

She's been more lovey than anything, at least toward me. This attack of hers was a complete hundred and eighty turn from the last few days.

cats are difficult to decipher. He had one nearly bite his hand off after purring contentedly while being stroked

then she went all mental on me with the purrs two octaves higher and her hackles up...that's why he is sticking to dogs

you get better soon and that your immune system is strong enough to manage

Pinball's always been a little unhinged, and she'd spent most of her life in the old apartment. I hope she settles down soon.

Given the number of reoponses from people wjo have had their own cats freak out after a move.

...my lil kittie was driven across canada, crazy as hell for months, and was just saying today how wonderful she now is, but it took time.

(I never drove her, we had company stay for a month, then they left the cat here and I adopted her)

Yeah, Freq we moved her over to the new place on Thursday, but we've had people moving boxes in since then.

crazy bitey kitteh too. They're part lion y'a know.

Phoenix59, that's so very, very fitting! ^_^

Ahh, Ted Nugent. <3

I dunno but my usually docile siamese(really, he is) has been roaming the house at night howling..I think that he has a bit of springfever.

I've been on the receiving end of those sort of feline berserker rages, too.

damn kittehs

sings Cat Scratch Fever!

Yeah, Pinball's always been an indoor cat. The one time she got out, she got rained on. Hasn't tried to escape again.
