Hey guys posted yesterday and read yalls responses but I have one more question about something that started today. I'm always worried bout this kitty lol


She went to bed fine, and was able to sit still but today shes constantly swaying back and forth or left and right while sitting, as if it's not even voluentarily? She seems happy and active/mobile but i've never seen a cat sway like that?

I notice shes also not drinking her water so i've been mixing water into her food and she's excessively purring today which I know can mean discomfort/pain/stress. I'm thinking of taking her to the vet but I may just be worrying too much?

My kitten swayed a lot due to dehydration. She wouldnt drink water either. If you pinch some of her skin, preferably on the scruff of her neck amd it doesnt immediately pop back dpwn, Give her 2 cc's (2 ML) of water every couple of hours through a syringe . Make sure you dont shoot it down her throat causing her to inhale it. That can lead to pnemounia and other respitory issues. You can google info amd videos on it if needed. Ultimately though if you are concerned it never helps to call the vet.

Purring means your cat is content, happy - not from pain or stress.

I would be more concerned if she is unsteady while walking than when sitting still.

Has she been vomiting or diahrea? This will lead to low electrolytes and could cause her to be wobbly.
