Not at all. It is just one more medication but that does not mean that the cat should not recover from all of this and be fine. How are things today?
When they roll in litter it's usually to get their scent in the litter box. Cats like to be able to smell themselves so they feel at ease. He may choose to use the litter box at some point and will now smell himself.She’s doing great. I want to monitor her for one more day in isolation. As I mentioned, she was all over my boy cat that I took in from the yard last year. More seemed friend-like attention than romantic interest though. She rubbed her body alongside his several times when I let him in the room. She didn’t raise her butt or anything. He didn’t seemed to mind at first but eventually hissed at her.
He also did the weirdest thing. He got into her cat litter and tried to roll around in it. Like laid down on his side in the pan. Any ideas what that was about?
That might be like “cacheing,” which is something mountain lions do. I’d bet ferals do as well to some degree.Is this wierd. I made her a bed out of a few small fleece blankets. She took the one on top and used it to cover up her food bowl.
My mom's cat, who was always indoors, does this with toys. She brings toys over to her bowl and piles a few on top of her food.That might be like “cacheing,” which is something mountain lions do. I’d bet ferals do as well to some degree.
I’ve tried sprinkling ground up treats and fortiflora on it. She’ll only eat about 1/3 of normal. I had to put her back in the playpen last night, because the other cats would eat her left overs. She wasn’t real happy about that, but the other 3 cats can see into it and plus it’s next to my bed so she’s sleeping with everybody in the same room.That definitely could be it. Did the vet reply? Any special food that she might like?

That's good that she's eating. I'd keep doing what you are doing. She's likely still recovering from meds. I wouldn't worry too much unless she was totally not eating.Her appetite isn’t much better, but she is eating. She won‘t get up to eat, I have to hold the dish in the cat bed.
Might be an overstimulation thing combined with not feeling totally well as she recovers. I'd give her space for a while and not try picking her up for a little while. My cat always loved physical contact but he's trembled when not feeling well.My latest worry: When I picked her up she was literally trembling (shivering) every 5 seconds even though she didn’t try and get away. Kind of like inhale, tremble, inhale, tremble.
I'm sure it will be fine. It really does sound like you've made a lot of progress with her already.I do think she’s still depressed over the loss of her freedom. Hoping that changes eventually.
Well that’s reassuring. So far the only thing she really seems to be enjoying is having cat company.I have had this happen with cats who are brought inside. Some seem to miss their former life, but no one has ever not moved forward into being an indoor only cat.
