Was your cat a feral cat?

I had a feral cat once. I helped heal your back after she had gotten shot in the back. The bullet went straight thru. She loved to be petted but didn't like being picked up. She would come up to me, while I was standing up, and climb up my body and curl up on the top of my head and 'rest'. Crazy cat.

She did her 'own thing'. I have no idea where she slept at night.

Aldous - very interesting to know about the vitamin E, definitely worth a try, thank you.

BigJohn - she's not been a feral cat in the true sense of the word, but she was originally living in a pub where she was badly treated/abused i.e had things thrown at her, and she left to her own devices. After that she was in a caravan site but had no actual home, she was given a summerhouse which was heated during the winter, but had no one she could call family.

Have you tried giving your cut a little bit of catnip because it might come your cut down a nighttime
But don't make mistake don't make the same mistake I did leaving the village catnip lying around because I move that mistake because might have cuts got whole of the catnip I had left lying around and lived back right up and and they whipped the Park open to get all the right mess they did that was my own fault and that but if you give your cat a little bit of catnip but hide it somewhere or your cat cannot find it
I hope I'm being helpful if not I apologize
