To believe that my cat is trying to tell me something bad?

This.

You're up googling because you're convinced she's trying top tell you something about your health (eg cancer) when, in fact, it's most likely that it's because you have neglected her health regarding something that is very likely to give her cancer.

I don't know about cats but I have rabbits and they are almost guaranteed to get uterine cancer if they're not spayed and they haven't had a litter.

On top of that, you keep her locked indoors thereby preventing her from exercising any of her natural instincts.

I'd imagine she's thoroughly miserable.

I know you say she doesn't go outdoors, but all bets are off when an animal is in season. They become Houdini, so keep 2 doors between her and outside at all times to be safe.

Omg you’re exactly the same as me. I’d totally worry the same thing. I also have OCD and massive health anxiety. I always worry there’s going to be a natural disaster when I hear several dogs barking at the same time as I heard they can sense them 😂

Unlikely it will happen but please make sure to get your cat spayed, I've been looking after my deceased's mother's unspayed cat and put off getting her spayed, she was crying and acting strangely like yours when she's normally a quiet cat and I just had her in for an emergency pyometra spay

Keeping a cat indoors is cruel. Get her spayed for gods sake and let her outside.

It's not likely to be you.

I know someone who volunteers for a cat charity and they said they'd often try to give advice to people who's cats went missing and they'd never know why. The reason was usually that they were in heat and they'd always find a way of getting out, despite being "indoor cats". Around this time is absolutely when they will act up and potentially slip out when you go out or they'll go out of a window.

I had a male cat who slipped out and went missing just before he was due to be neutered so I know it happens.

The other option would be illness.

In heat, or else reacting to the smell of some unusual animal outside the house. But probably in heat.

Another one to say she needs to be spayed. She’s in heat. Do it asap, it’s in her best interests.

My cat was also a rescue and unwell when. I got her. She was spayed within 2 weeks of adoption. Your excuse is rubbish. She's nine months old. She will escape.

She's in heat. She needs spaying asap

Mine were neutered at four months old. Get her done.

And try to look at things from her point of view and how she's expressing her needs as opposed to interpreting her behaviour as an indicator of your health or whatever. Animals can't talk and rely on their owners to detect any health problems they may be experiencing.

A ghost maybe?!
Marginally better than your own demise.

Seriously though - this is the type of rabbit hole I would fall down and you have my sympathy because it is hard to control so my advice would be to remember most things feel 100% worse at this time of night. Try to distract your mind.

I’m not a cat owner so I can’t give you a sensible answer but I hope you are both ok and definitely get her checked over tomorrow if she still isn’t herself xx

And watch out for male cats getting in...

She will now!! She will be desperate to get out so watch very carefully if you open any window/doors because she will become like liquid and escape the smallest gap.

I don’t know where you are but where I am we have thunder and lightening. It could be something as simple as that unsettling her.

It’s not always about you 🙄

we was told to book her in before 1 years old so we took that as anytime before she's 1

Who told you that? She could have had a couple of litters in that time 😬

The vet should also look at her mouth incase she has a painful dental issue. Unlikely at her age, but possible. My cat had has a sore mouth we didn't pick up till his yearly check up. Felt bad, he had already had teeth removed a yr earlier so wasn't expecting it again so soon.

You've had your answer, now get her to the vet asap and find out how soon they can neuter her !
She could have and probably should have been done ages ago.

It’s overwhelmingly probable that she’s on heat and feeling really uncomfortable from it, poor girl. Could you make an appointment to get her spayed as soon as possible? Otherwise she will most certainly get out at some stage and either come back up the duff or get lost while looking for male company. And younger female cats also recover from spays quicker than older adults.

Every time a female cat goes through heat their chance of developing certain types of cancer increase.

If this is indeed her first, you’ve missed the chance to have her spayed early and potentially entirely eliminate her chances of developing various cancers.

Its imperative cat owners get female cats spayed early.

It's nothing to do with you, she just wants to go out and get knocked up.

So calm down and book the vet in the morning.

She's 9 months old, very probably in heat.

She'll be dashing out open doors and windows pretty soon.
