Why is my 9 month old cat actying so strangely?! I worm her regularly so i think its something else..

She lowers her face to the ground, withher bum on the air and gently moves her back paws up and down. She meows alot aswell

Well this is difficult to answer as it may just be a stretch (my own cat does this sometimes) or if she is not spayed then it may have something to do with her going into heat.

To be honest as long as she is still eating and drinking and using the litter tray as normal then i wouldn't worry too much. the only time to worry is if you think she is in pain or her behaviour changes dramatically like not eating that you should worry and take her to the vets.

best wishes Kate
