Good day! I've been lurking this forum for some time now, and finally made an account because I need urgent help. Here is a summary of my problem. Please give me the best possible solution in my situation right now. I'd prefer someone with enough knowledge on feral cats as mine is one.
My cat's information:
My cat's information:
- 1 year and almost a half years old
- Feral cat (*adopted her from the streets when she was 2 months)
- Had 2 close intervals of kitten litter (first one gave birth to 2; second one to 3 just last February)
- Shots is up to date
- Weighs at 3 pounds (had always been thin but already gave meds for worms)
- Became an outdoor cat for 1 and a half months now (Along with 3 of her children)
- Eats separately from her children (eats inside the house)
- Cuddles me to wake up when she gets the chance to go inside the house
- Occasional stranger neighboorhood cat goes near her but she doesn't mind
- Recently turned moody
- Gives me a bite warning when I normally touch her stomach
- Growls and hisses at me everytime I let her out of the house (I do because of Parents' decision)
- Growls, hisses, and scratches at her children when they go near her
- When left inside too long, she pooped on our beds on two separate occasions
- Vet said it could be that she is in heat after giving birth. (w/c also explains the weight)
- Internet said it could be due to stress w/c I don't know the source to
- Internet says could be due to stomach ailments
- Never treated cat badly (hitting, pushing etc) Only use positive reinforcement ( ignoring)
- Only smacked her a few times when she behaves bad
- She would stay near or beside me whenever I go (I'm her "mom")
- Would avoid going to vet as much as possible due to financial reasons
