Newly spayed cat gone psycho!?
HELP! I just had my cat spayed and her behavior is erratic! She is eating twice as much. She runs constantly, and has even begun to bite. What can I do to calm her down?

She may undergo some hormonal changes being as she was just spayed, if she older than an year. If she's a kitten, then her eating habits will be erratic just like her behavior. Kittens eat an incredible amount at times. If she's older then an year, her erratic behavior could be from the anastesia. It can sometimes have weird effects of animals. Excess shedding and wacky behavior are just a couple. Agression is common for a few weeks after surgery also. The anastesia can mess with her mood, just like people. It can take a few weeks to completly leave the body. And believe it or not, she might actaully know what's happened to her and she ticked off about it. I had a Rottweiler that didn't want anything to do with me for a month after he was neutered. I couldn't get near him. Before that he was the sweetest boy in the world. After about a month or so, he forgave me. Animals know more then we think they do.

She may be going through a phase where her hormones start re-adjusting. This can usually happen when a cat has been sexually active and perhaps has had a litter or two of kittens, and now she has the extra energy and doesn't know what to do with it until she adjusts.
As to the eating, unfortunately, the neutered cats will tend to gain a little more weight because they will eat a little more. Adjust her diet accordingly to ensure that she doesn't gain too much.
With the biting, do what you can to discourage this behavior. Give her toys and play with her more to help her burn off the energy and to encourage more positive play habits.
You didn't mention if you made her an indoor kitty? That could also contribute to her additional energy levels.

properly, we've had many cats, none of that have been spayed, different than the single I even have now, Athena. i might advise taking her to the vet. in case you look the place they did the surgical operation, attempt to work out whether that's showing any clarification for soreness. She might additionally be unwell. desire she is great <3

I'd be acting wierd too. It seems a little extreme, but abnormal behavior is common. She's probably a little pissed off.
If her symptoms don't subside though, you should of course consult your vet. Hope she gets better soon.

You see your vet because this probably has absolutely nothing to do with being spayed.
