hi guys. first post. Little background info our cat chessy is, we guess to be about 7 or 8 years old. She was a stray and back when we got her, she was estimated to be 2-3. She was fixed and declawed..took us sometime to teach her shes a HOUSECAT, but shes forgotten about the outside.
Chessy is usually a playful, dossile, friendly cat. Spends most of her time on the floor and maybe someones bed or computer chair, staring blankly at her tweaked out sibbling.
So we come home one day and shes sleeping on the dinning room table. Very strange. She never goes up there..
As the night goes on, shes not coming off. We'd find her later sitting on the ktichen table or the coffeetable..
Took us a day to figure out, she will not go on the floor. If you place her on the floor, she frantically jumps back up.
She will make a trip to the kitchen to eat, or to use the litter box, but she runs full blast to get there.
Alright, we figured shed get over it...been a week, and getting very old. Shes a clutz, and since shes gotta stay on the table (which shes not used to) she'll frantically move from 1 table to the next, staying on the furniture...including stepping in people's dinners, nocking anything in her way off, and now hurting herself by just falling, slipping, sliding right off the table ..etc..etc
We've tried to play with her on the floor. After 4 days best we can do is get her to sit on a blanket with someone....for a very short time
Where ever you can get her off of a table, shes always staring off in one direction...in the living room it will be at the dining room table, or strangely under the recliner..in the ktichen she looks towards the dining room...i tried to take her in my room today..let her sleep on her favorite guitar case..watching her favorite aquarium..instead she sat alert watching out the door, and ran downstairs...nocking off dishes when she got to the table.
Nothing has changed. We just came home one day and she was acting like this. The other cat, whos one of those wound up cats (hence the name spaz) is acting like her usual self. but only now since chessy is hiding, spaz walks around meowing for her.
our pet rabbits arent acting up neither. Just her. Im coming to the conclusion she dreampt something or the ghosts in my house spooked her..we're that much out of ideas.
We thought we were making progress. Every night we'd sit with her on the blanket ont he floor, and she'd stay longer..only today we found out, she WILL NOT stay on couches, chairs, beds, etc etc
Can you guys suggest anything? This is getting old fast. Thanks in advance.
