Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 lbs
My cat is acting strange. She is yowling nonstop, pacing, has a really itchy ear. She also won’t stop rolling in the dirt, and she is on constant alert. We have had her spayed. Why is she doing this?

I would be concerned that Poppy has a serious ear infection. This could cause her to cry in pain, pace due to being uncomfortable, and potentially roll around trying to rub her ear on the ground due to it being itchy. Please keep in mind that without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain, but it does sound like she is very uncomfortable. The best thing to do for her is get her into a vet a soon as possible for an exam and treatment. Good luck, I hope this helps!
