My cat is in Pain HELP!

Can Anyone suggest what I can do for my kitty, I can't take her to the vet right now- unemployed.

She is running around freaking out at her lower back tail area. So I am thinking she is in pain and having sharp pains and doesn't know how to handle them.

My MIL has an evil cat that attacks her. I am thinking this cat attack her while I wasn't around to protect her.

I think she may be "backed up" not sure. I got her some grass to chew on until tomorrow.

Her own tail hit her in the face and she attacked it like it belong to another cat. Can cats have disassociation issue?

And no fleas, thank goodness.

Beside grass, anyone know what can be done when cats are backed up. I can't tell if she stopped "going" because she is one of eight cats. My fiances mother really loves cat. Lucky, she keeps the house clean with all these cats.

grass is to bring up fur balls - so if she is constipated it won't help.

as she is getting aggressive with her tail I think people are right in guessing it is an itch. Fleas or maybe something like ring worm (the fungus).

Our cat has had suspected cystitis and she doesn't act like that if you want to tick something off the posibles list.

You can get one of those enema kits at the drug store and give her an enema. She won't like it , but it should help if that is her problem. Get the one for a child. I've done it before so it won't hurt her.

Try a hairball gel if you think it's some constipation. Laxatone/petra malt. About 1 inch 1-2 times daily for 3-4 days. It has a mild laxative affect. It will coat the hairball if she has one and coat the stool. Grass actually will cause vomiting because it irritates the lining of the intestines. It may not bring up a hairball.

Have her stools been hard lately? I do not know if she is spayed? How old etc. Cats in heat can act extremely cranky and odd. Dragging themselves around screaming as if they are injured.

Enemas on a cat? Rarely will a cat sit still for that and without a proper training session with a vet it isn't something I would suggset you try.

Pumpkin ( cooked, strained comes in a can) is safe to give a cat. It may help move things along if she is even having constipation issues.

Well, good luck.
