My poor cat

[*Efjay*]

LOL HollyM I can just picture it!

Maybe its just something they grow into? I have also noticed Moe is purring louder as he gets older.

cat purr to calm them selves as well as when they are comfy. So if you think he is purring louder or more, teamed with everything else I think its pretty safe to say he is feeling rather anxious. Would be like separation anxiety I guess.
You can get medication from your vet to help.
You could even try giving him Rescue remedy for a start anyway. You can get that at the chemist & its just a couple of drops through out the day or times you think are most stressful for him, like when you are in the shower.

awww poor pussy cat! I agree with trying rescue remedy like FJ said, also there are some phermones you can get at your vet that are exxy but help with relaxing anxious cats. Its called Feliway... you can get a plug in or a spray. I would say get the plug in and pop it in a central area.

My kitten was like this, and we got a second cat and it made things so mcuh easier. Even now though, if he gets out of the cat run he'll sit at the back door and yowl for me. Or if he sees my light turn on, more yowling. But the second cat has made a huge difference, a kitten that snuggled up to him. Now both cats are 8 & 7 years old, they snuggle and sleep togther and I have less worries

Thanks all for your suggestions I would NEVER had thought of RR for animals I will have to pick some up. Christy I do like the idea of the pheramone thing too even though its exxy it may encourage him to stick to a particular area of the house. He is so cheeky when I leave doors open to let the air through the house (when its closed it smells like a camphour box) I always find him sleeping on the change table in the nursery on a blanky I put there. At least he has stopped sleeping on the snuggle bed in the cot the funny thing is he knows he is not allowed there and I get dirty looks when I tell him off.

Kaz - I have been nagging DH to let me get another cat so Moe has some company he always tries to play with the other farm cats but they run away from him or the old black cat fights with him.

Thanks again

hey Naenae!

we just had this discussion at our vet for our cat! She was hit by a car last night and although came through with only minor injuries her anxiety is through the roof and he reckons that the plug in 'happy smells' that you can get are fantastic! i'm going to look into getting some if she is still bonkers tonight

hope it all goes well for you guys and Moe gets some good vibes coming his way!
