(HillCity SD)

My cat got diarrhea and she has had it for awhile but since the diarrehea she attacks my kids when they have food. They push her away but she comes back full force bitting, She has gotten flat out mean when it comes to food and she is eating a lot more, shes gotten to where shes not using the litter box since the diarreha. She wasn't like this before she got the diarrhea. Please Help,

hi well I haven't heard of these two symptoms together. All i can assume is that the cat is suffering from an illness which could be making her extremely hungry and so very possessive about food. whether or not this is connected to the diarrhea i could not say.

i really think that your best option is to take him to a vet for a check up, there may be some underlining illness causing both of these symptoms.

If the cat gets the all clear health wise then you will know for sure that it is purely behavioral and be able to start to try and change this behavior.

i have pages about cat aggression here on the site
