Hi Kim,

The doctor should be able to do some blood tests and confirm if it is likely a result of cat scratch fever or something else going on with her.

You can also catch cat scratch fever from rabbits and other small animals, so the kitten may or may not be the culprit.

Hope the doctor is able to figure out what is going on and treat her. If it is indeed Cat Scratch, you may want to consider having the cat declawed. I know many people find it inhumane, but when it comes to your child's health, your child really has to come first.

Hi,

It sounds like maybe she got into something while you were at work. Check her feet carefully and then look around the house and see if you can figure out what she might have gotten into. She may just have something on her paw pads that are irritating her. It's also possible she has some sort of infection, which is why it's important to check her carefully.

Is it possible she could have gotten into any type of poison or antifreeze? I would be concerned more about the shivers and the gagging than the craziness. Cats can act nutty sometimes.

If you do suspect that she could have gotten into poison of some sort, get her to the vet immediately. The quicker you get her treatment, the better her chances of survival.
