my cat is acting crazy!

Question
dear Dr. Chambreau my cat misty is roughly 2 1/2 years old she has had one litter of kittens and was pregnant about two months ago but she had her kittens over a month early (so of coarse they were dead) and i think she could be pregnant again, but the reason i am sending you this is because lately she has been acting very weird she has been attacking my dog buddy and my other cat quint and today i cleaned the litter box and she emptied out half of the fresh litter and layed down in the litter box, she has never done this before, she has a kennel upstairs that she sleeps in and lots of boxes to lay in so i don't understand why she did this so if you could give me your opinion it would be greatly appreciated

Answer
As part of treating her current behavior problems, I would STRONGLY advise you to have her spayed as soon as possible. I know that many clinics want her to be out of heat when they spay her, but with her history of getting pregnant and having this new behavior problem, I would pay the extra money and have her spayed immediately.

I hope she was vaccinated for Rabies at some point. If not, you must seriously consider that as a possibility and be very careful around her and go to a veterinary clinic immediately as rabies can have the symptoms you described.

She could be in heat and having an unusual reaction. She could be pregnant and having problems again with a miscarriage.

She needs to be carefully evaluated at a clinic.
