Help! My cat Jaycee is five years old and has always been a very moody cat. She is spoiled but I love her, and her moody mood swings. I like to think I'm a really good pet owner, I take her to the vet for check ups, I make sure she is healthy and get properly. She is a rather picky animal, she only drinks from a running tap, she snubs wet food, like she has never had a taste for it. And by taste I mean she looks at it, doesn't even go to smell it and turns from it. She pees on anything on the floor. She doesn't like fabric on the floor. I mean her litter is clean and she will go out of her way to pee on the rug in the washroom, or a sock that wasn't picked up off the floor right away. This is not because of uti's or anything like that she has been doing it since she was about 2 and fell from a three story building balcony while in the care of my mother. She was fine, just scared and chipped a tooth. I should say she is not fixed, she's an indoor cat, and I refuse to let her out, should she get out I chase her down and have her back inside in minutes. But any time she is in heat she will religiously clean her genitals and growl at herself. Since her first heat this has been an oddity of hers, also her sticking her butt up and kicking her feet back like she is kicking dirt back. She's a weirdo but she is my weirdo.
Anyways today the first time in the five years I have had her, I was there when she was born. She went into the litter box and began growling like she does when she is in heat(she is now) but this is different I saw her in the litter box while she was growling. She never does this. Ever. I went over and watched her for a good three minutes, her tail twitching like she was trying to pee. However when she finally left the litter box she hasn't peed at all. I checked for blood or anything like that and nothing. But I'm worried. I don't know what is wrong. Is she just being a crazy cat in heat? Or is this something more severe? She is drinking and eating the same amount. She is still wanting just as much affection and she is still swatting away my two kittens when they try to play with her, as she has done since I got them.
