Hey everyone, I have a kitten that is behaving strangely, so I thought I would see if anyone has experienced this kind of problem.
I adopted Tiki-toes 4months ago, she is a polydactyl kitten, and she is pretty normal for the most part. Tiki is 6months now, and is on a healthy almost grain-free diet, has a good appetite, and has had all her vaccinations. I noticed early on that when she plays hard she starts panting, and just figured it was normal for a kitten her age, and she would settle down eventually.
The problem is that sometimes she gets over-stimulated, and way too excited, almost like she's ADD or something. This is especially bad if I take her outside on a leashed walk, which she LOVES to do. She gets herself so worked up (like she's had caffeine) I worry about her having a heart attack! I have had a couple of times when she behaved normally on a walk outside, stayed relaxed, and really enjoyed herself, so now I wonder what is normal?
I have never had a kitten behave this way, so I am not sure what to try, and I wonder if she has adrenal issues? Any input or feedback on what could be causing this hyperactivity would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
