Lil Rascal
Kerry I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You too have had so many losses in
such a short space of time. Everyone experiences it differently to our kitties
are unique to us but I certainly can empathise with the loss of you r dear
departed kitties. I hope you can take comfort in knowing you were the best mom
possible and that all your kitties know that and love you for it. Angel Rascal
will be with you in spirit. xx
Humiliating Experience
I have to say although you were angry I giggled at the message as I could
visualise your kittie backing up to pee. If you had said that you'd adopted a
new kittie in your initial message then instantly I would have said as other
messages have that you are being marked. It doesn't matter how much attention
your kittie is getting she will feel threatening and insecure about the new
addition stepping on her patch. It is natural to pay lots of attention to the
new addition to help them settle in but the kittie who is already there should
be treated as the top boss. You can maybe try the plug in pherimones or bachs
rescue remedy to help her through this stressful time. Cats can start marking
everywhere of importance to them when they feel insecure. Don't ever be
angry at her - she is showing symptoms of stress. If cats start peeing in
abnormal places then there is something wrong - they may appear to do it on
purpose but they are doing it for a reason be that stress, dirty litter, medical
problems etc.... When it is stress due to new addition then she may need an area
that is just hers - where the new kittie doesn't go - somewhere she has privacy
and is safe in her mind.
Minstrel
I just realised that my FeLV+ Minstrel was actually taken in the sanctuary
as a kitten (as I knew) but she is technically a ferral. She lives with
Buddy as a domestic she is more touchy. She would never let me catch her so
I can't get her to the vet yet - but she comes to me and kisses my mouth when I
bend down to her - she will not eat her food unless I've stroked her and is
getting more demanding of cuddles. She is my first ferral.
