So, my 4-year-old female cat Nyla is having multiple problems lately. She is a black Bombay cat. For the past month or so Nyla has been having trouble climbing on my bed. She can stand up and attempt to climb up but she has to use her front arms to pull herself up. This has never been a problem with her before. So I have to pick her up to bring her on the bed and she doesn't seem like she's in pain when I do it. She seems like she's only in pain if I just decide to pick her up if she's walking around. She has always been a very skittish cat and by that I mean she gets scared easily and is very alert. She was born in a family pet and garden center that was an absolutely horrible place for animals. They did not take care of the animals and the kittens were locked in a small cage and they had so many fleas. Nyla has gone through two pregnancies. The first one the 3 kittens were born premature and did not make it. The second pregnancy, Nyla had 5 healthy kittens this past summer and we kept one of them and gave away 4. They growl and hiss at each other and sometimes hit each other. Luckily it isn't deadly fights but if someone could give me some tips on how to make them nice to each other. The kitten was the runt of them all and I guess that could be why. But, enough of that lol. I'm very scared of Nyla too. She has no trouble going to the bathroom either but she does seem very light. Lighter than her youngest cat tbh. I don't have a lot of time to bring her to the vet because my parents are working and I have school. However, we are thinking of bringing her to the vet this week possibly if they have time. Could Nyla have arthritis? Is she possibly dying?!
