mysti really perked up when i moved her out from under the bed where she was cowering, and put her into a condo cage--she could jump up and look out the window, she could visit with all her friends on her OWN terms--she could play pawsies or not, she could get as close as she wanted, but still feel safe..... after about six months, as usual i left the door open as i was cleaning her box, and she came out and has been out for more than 201/2 years now. she STILL spends most of her time under the bed, in her furnished condo with pool table, spa, cable tv and broadband (!), but she's not terrified anymore--she comes out to cuddle when she wants, she doesn't need to be fed and watered under there, she has quiet parties with her friends......

Well, don't try Prozac, it makes them much more "zombie" like than the Amitriptyline does... just FYI. I think zombie is preferable to "hiding under the bed scared for life, too paranoid to even come out to eat or pee", which describes my Miranda cat. That's not much of a quality of life either, IMO.
