I made a post a couple of months back about my cat not being herself. I thought maybe she was psychologically affected by a cat coming in our garden (we had just moved house and there appeared to be some territorial issues). I took her to the vet, and he prescribed antibiotics. She didn't get better, took her to another vet who agreed she is anxious and prescribed a pheromone collar.
The collar worked for about 2 weeks, she appeared to buck up, then she went back to being more tired than usual, clingy, soppy and a bit off her food.
Now, she has stopped jumping up to the window that I leave open for her to have access in and out. She meows at the door instead. No sign of pain.
I am reluctant to go back to the vets as I can see logically the answer is still that she is anxious. However, she had lots of knocks in life prior to this all starting and never reacted in an anxious way so it was always seeming odd to me that she could be anxious in the first place.
The timescale for all this is now about 4 months.
I am not dismissing her being anxious but I am asking any cat people if they have any idea of a physical issue that could cause all this?
Sorry this was long but any thoughts greatly appreciated.
