Hi! I'm a new user with a quite urgent question
Jess is my 15 year old tabby, and since her canine pal Lucy died 1 month she has been acting weird. Then she used to spend hours outside, which really isn´t like her, then she would come for some food before going again.I was giving her attention, like stroking her and making sure she had food to eat.
A couple of days ago, she went at about 5.00pm then came back today. She looked OK, and I did give check to see if she had been hurt. I offered her some canned food, the first time she turned her nose up at it, then the second time she only ate the jelly off the top. I went to get her some milk, but by the time I came back outside she had gone. I don´t know if some other family is feeding her, but she is usually a friendly cat towards me. For the past few weeks though, she has been lounging around on the table in the garden, now she doesn´t.
I get really concerned for her safety- about two years ago, Jess was shot with an airgun and got a pellet lodged in her side. I found it when I was stroking her. A few days later, my neighbour from two doors down threatened the cat- saying that if she came in his garden he would hurt her. That terrified me- and know I am scared that he will carry out his threat and hurt her. My worst fear is her dying away from home, and in the hands of that maniac. I´m convinced it was him who hurt her before- she never ventures too far from home usually.
HELP! What do I do? I planned to get her inside next time I see her then change her collar to one with our phone number on it, just in case something happens. That´s if I do see her again :-(
