Question
Can you explain why one of our female cats runs and hides under a bed when either my wife or I sneeze? Our other cats are not concerned by this. One other question: Can a change in a cats drinking water give them diarrea? Thank you, Mike.
Hi Mike!
The only thing that comes to mind about the hiding from sneezing is that it scares her. I don't know what else it could be. All cats, just as humans, are different. What scares one, won't bother another. Just like my dogs when it comes to storms....one is scared out of her mind, the others don't care at all.
Yes, a change in water and/or food can cause diarrhea. It is not common, but can happen. You may also want to have your cats checked for parasites.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
