    Default feral cat outside... wtf??? rabies?

    I was sitting in my room and noticed a white cat sitting just outside of the bushes....I was bored so I decided to go say hello. I went up to him, and he started trying to walk, but he couldn't, it was like he was drunk and kept falling down. He was just standing still, but his head was wobbling all over the place, his eyes were still facing one direction but his head was facing the other and he kept looking at me and turning his head, kind of like an old fashioned sprinkler.. It looked like he was possesssed... and his head was bobbling all over the place. I was calling to him and meowing but he didn't make any noise, and he wasn't foaming at the mouth. Could it be rabies?? It was really weird. Then...i started going closer and he started trying to walk away, and then all of a sudden ran in like three circles super fast. I went to go inside to call some sort of animal hotline or rescue or something, but as i ran away he ran back in the bushes.

    wtf??? what could it be?? seizures, rabies?? His coat was pretty well maintained so i don't think he'd been living outside for very long with whatever was going on with him, because i dont think he could take care of himself with whatever he has. maybe he was poisoned???

    aww. poor baby. Don't touch him or try to catch him in case he does have a disease, althoguh yeah, poison could be the culprit. Just call animal control, they can set traps safely that won't harm him. I hope it works out, poor thing...

    Maybe he has heat stroke? Can you put out a bowl of water near the bushes?

    Poison or heatstroke would be more likely than rabies. If he were rabid, he'd probably have lockjaw, so his mouth would be latched open and he wouldn't be able to groom himself. He would also be a lot more aggressive.

    I agree that you should call the Humane Society and talk to them about it.
