been having a stressful last few days.
fangbattle is sick/stressed but we don't really know what's wrong. we were playing with her like usual on saturday night, wherein she was feeling a little agitated (chewing on plants and furniture) and we were trying to get her to use up all that nervous energy with the teaser toy.
she ran into the kitchen at one point and started chewing on the laundry rack, i picked her up, and she just reacted really strongly
hiss, bat, *scream.*
it's been three days now and she screams in terror whenever approached or called by name, like she's in a state of stress she can't come down from. luckily she's still eating and drinking and it's all moving through her, but i've only seen her this agitated during vet visits and in proximity to other cats.
she hasn't tried to bite or scratch me, and at night she even still jumps up on the bed and requests pets and snuggles like usual (nuzzles into your hand till you scritch her), but you can't even enter the same room or talk in a normal register without scaring her. in this state it's impossible to get her into a carrier, so karma put in an order for feliway to try and calm her down
i just don't know what's causing the stress feedback loop. karma's best guess is that she has a broken tooth/kitty cavity of some sort and is just in a lot of pain. if anyone else has ever dealt with a stressy sad kitty like this before, please advise? :(
