QuestionHi, I have a 2 1/2 month old female ragdoll X. I noticed today that she's shivering when she's sleepy or purring. It's like little spurts of shivers, she'll shiver for a second and then be still for a second, then shiver, then be still. She's sleeping right now, and I covered her up thinking that maybe she was just cold (we have central air) - but she's still shivering.
Could you tell me if this is something that I should be overly concerned about?
Thank you so much :)
AnswerMelomommy -
Have your kitty examined by a veterinarian. Shivering in dogs can be quite common, but not as common in cats. Perhaps your kitten is harboring some sort of sickness that can be diagnosed by a physical examination.
