My female cat wont let any of us touch her back apart from Jaz ( my sister) who she sleeps with (but even that has stopped of late) Candy is 14years old and loves being outdoors. She is neutered when she was young. Her food has not changed and she is walking and jumping as normal. If she is laying down then she will let you stroke her head, ears, chin and even tummy but if you move too close to her tail or lower back then she growls, push your hand away or nib you. You can not pick her up for too long otherwise she growls and hisses the house down til you do but when she was younger she loved it. She is a lovely cat otherwise. Her brother was recently diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and has two tablets once a day, we hide the tablets in a treat stick but i've been giving her a stick as well with him. He is my cat and we are very close and Candy has always been my partners close friend until she went to be with Jaz. At first i thought that maybe Candy was attention seeking because the family is giving Licky more attention lately due to his condition so i have made extra time just for Candy and i have sent my partner to spend time with her also. She seem to purr louder when with him.
i have also noticed that she seems to meow loud if the house is quiet for a long period of time - its like a lonely meow or a troubled meow as countless times ive gone running to her, thinking that she has got caught on the scratching post by her claw or something.
I am taking Licky the vet next friday so i will ask about Candy (she foams at the mouth when in a cage so i don't want to stress her out for no reason at present)
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas or suggestions to try with Candy.
