Maggie Moo is hiding in my closet she is laying on some blanketts I have in the back of it. Do you think she is feeling sick? I really wish she could talk to me. Im worried about her now. Oh maybe she is just being weird!Or maybe she is just hiding from Molly. What do think about this situation?

Hi Terry, Hopefully your cat was just in a weird mood and their is no reason for concern. She could have just been playing with the other cat too, hard to say. Good luck! Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

Is Maggie okay now?? I was reading some of the other responses you made and that she's already out of the closet and that she's a grouch...LOL. I used to have a "moody" cat too. Maybe she was just having a bad day?? LOL

Do you know if she's eating and using her kitty liter? Those two are some of the big signs to look for if you notice your cat is doing something she rarely do. Another reason is that she might be prego prego. If not then check the area she's always in and make sure things are normal. Check for odors and stuff like that. I know this sounds weird but whenever your Maggie yawns, get close enough to notice her breath. If it smells a lot worse than it does(Cuz we all know pets can't brush their teeth) she might be seriously ill. When cats know it's their time they will find a enclosed area and let that be their final resting place. Forgive me for saying that and I don't mean for you to worry but these are things to just consider. I, myself, have a cat and she's very anal and she's nine. I know she's getting up there in her years but she haven't done the things I suggested. They will let you know if something is terribly wrong with them.

maybe a giant rat is in the house. HAHAHA! Hope not. Sometimes cats get stressed and they do tend to shy from humans hiding and or running from their owners. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well, for starters, Maggie Moo is a very cute name....She had probably found a super duper comfy spot to rest....she could have a migraine and is trying to hide from the light...You never know...I hope she is alright....

I think that cats are very independent creatures and very good at taking care of themselves. You are stressing yourself out for no good reason, and even if the cat is ill you are not helping it heal by putting out worry vibes... they are very sensitive to your emotional tone!It sounds to me like she is looking for a place to have babies, but if that's not possible then I bet she is just enjoying her current favorite spot. I have to smile at my cats and their favorite spot game... like musical chairs or something. For a week or two one cat will be hanging out on top of the bookshelf, every time I look, there he is. Then the next thing I know he's hanging out in a drawer I left open - which I then have to continue to leave open until he gets tired of that spot, while one of the other cats has decided to snag his old spot on the bookshelves. I don't think there is a spot in my house that at one time or another has not been one of my kitties 'temporarily favorite spot'! One of my cats got bit by a rattlesnake this summer. I didn't have any money for a trip to the vet, so I just kept myself very calm and sent out calm healing energy to him. He slowed all his bodily functions down to a bare minimum and hardly moved at all for a couple of days. He wouldn't eat or anything. His neck was swollen like a baseball was under his skin, the fur fell out from the area around the bite and I could see the fang marks. And he recovered on his own, in fact, now that I think about it, one way to tell that your cat is not feeling well is that they stop eating. Is she eating?
