Elderly cat breathing difficulties when purring

[mags]

I have been a bit worried today as Tish was not her self this morning . she did not leap out for her breakfast with the rest and hung about the eglu

I have read lots of theads to see if it matched her .

 

 

Got back from work worried and found her sitting on the nesting box and she was not happy to be moved. "Ooops, word censored!"ody about last 2 days to get eggs out

seems to hang about there still but raced out for a treat

i should also say the weather is pants here wet windy and my other girls staying under the roofing.

 

what are classic signs of broody hens ?

 

bottom seems abit grubby ( she is laying ok)

Unusual grunting noises, puffing up feathers like a balloon, pecking your hand and a bit more aggression than usual. Not leaving the nesting box, generally hogging it. Might have pulled feathers out of her breast - so you could find a few loose feathers in the nest.

 

Hope this helps.

Sounds like your one is the same as mine. I have spent the week getting her off of the nest and at long last it seems to be working. Takes a bit of time and perserverence though

I've got a broody, but my circumstances are different. We have cockerels, so eggs can be fertile & we want her to sit on eggs. Unfortunately, she only has one egg under her. Going to put a few more under her tomorrow though. She is very grumpy & pecky, but still getting eating & drinking. Thank goodness.
