My cat is suddenly aggressive and moans when I lift her. Why?

Question

My 1 year and 7 month old female cat, who has always been very tame, quite and cuddly, has started, growling, hissing and lashing out at her sister. She is slow to move and seems to be very cautious about jumping up or down from any height. She also moans everyone I lift her.

It sounds lke she is feeling well. Because she is acting painful when you lift her and she also isn't spayed, I would suspect she may have a condition called pyometra or even a urinary tract infection (if increased urination and drinking is seen). I would highly recommend taking her in to your vet for a proper exam and some testing. Cats will initally present with very unspecific symptoms of illness, which can then progress fairly quickly if not caught and treated early, so its best to get her checked now to make sure everything is ok. Best of luck to you and Tiger lily. I hope she feels better soon. Take care.
