Rescued a 1 year old male cat from a wretched woman who had abused him about 2 months ago. He was starved and had an obviously broken leg. We immediate took him to the vet. Vet said he had several fractures in his back leg that were healed. Gave him some meds and said he just needed a whole lot of TLC. My worries are that time has passed and he is loving and getting healthy but I am wondering if he has PTSD. If he thinks he might be in trouble or is startled about anything he flops on his side and just lays there looking terrified. Now he has began also pooping when he does this. It’s not something he can control or is even aware of when he does it. The flopping on his side happens several times a day but the bowel thing is not as often. Is cat PTSD a thing?
