Bringing home a new cat tomorrow. What should I know?

That was mostly just hormones. Spaying will greatly reduce this.

That's a relief.

It's getting worse she went from a very friendly and cuddly cat to a very aggressive one. She gets aeroplane ears starts making a very heavy meow sound and if u move she comes closer to u slowly and responds to your movement. I am not sure wht to do. I will have to put her up for adoption, if I can find someone who is willing to take her. I never thought it would turn out like this. I asked the previous owner for any trauma or any history he didn't even bother to reply after seeing my msg.

Did she ever have kittens? This is one confusing cat!

This still sounds like hormones to me. Probably a side effect to aborting her litter. If you can keep her contained in a room she feels the most comfortable in until they settle or she gets fixed.

She seems very uncomfortable in the collar and keeps bumping into stuff. Can I cover her stitches instead? I'll try to get a onesie but she probably won't let me put it on. I tried finding an ecollar today and I couldn't find any. They all say its short in the market.

The collar was on, but I had to staple it and she took it off at night. I have fixed that and it won't happen again. However she did lick her stitches and they appear slightly infected. I contacted the vet about it he said it looks minor and should be fine after a couple days of antibiotics. He prescribed augmentin 1ml 2 times a day for 3 days. The problem is its very hard to give her the medicine she resists too much and when I forced it, she started salivating and foaming. It stopped after a few seconds and she is fine now. Is there any other way to give her the medicine?
