Worried about 9 month old kitten

Can someone please help or give me some advice!

Every so offten my 9 month old kitten gets very upset! She has an arched back, hisses and growls and will not let anyone touch her.
When she is in this mood she always poo's herself ( this is always diaherra) sometimes Belle wee's too but not always!

She will not let her clean her up, my partner has had to put a towel over her to clean her so she doesnt attack!

For me this is very distressing, i hate to see her upset!

When this happens my partner is normally in the house by himself i am never normally there!
And when i come home she always wants cuddles from myself!
This has been happening since we had Belle at 6 weeks old and it happends roughly every month!

Can anyone shed some light to what could be the matter with her!

We are putting her in a cattery in 2 weeks time and i am really worried about leaving her incase she has her moment of madness!


Thanks for the help in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum.Has she been checked out by your vet,I would advise this before she goes into the cattery,to rule out any thing physical,also has she been spayed.

Re: Worried about 9 month old kitten

I agree. Given the diarrhea it sounds as if a physical problem may well be triggering this response and if so you need to rule this out. It is strange.

Have you noticed any pattern of events which might set off this behaviour?

Re: Worried about 9 month old kitten

Thanks everyone, I have just spoken to the vet as i was getting really worried, they said it sounds like a behaviour problem!

They have told me to purchase a spray from them ( i cant remember the name of it!!) but it will calm her down and it gives of a scent of her mother!

I am pleased i called them it has put my mind at rest!!!

This is obviously your decision,but if she was my cat I would not accept an over the phone "diagnosis",I would want her to be checked incase there was a physical reason for this behaviour.I dont see how your vet can come to the conclusion that it is behavioural when they havnt seen her but that is only my opinion.

Re: Worried about 9 month old kitten

Yes i agree i wanted to take her to the vets at the start but she was only there 3 weeks ago being checked out and she has been doing this ever since i have had her!!
so they would have found something if it was wrong!
