Hi everyone,
Please read below and let me know if you have any suggestions for this kitty.
We have already recommended a veterinary exam, (Dr. Smith, feline expert
extraordinaire) in case it's a medical problem.
I do not know this kitty, but she was rescued from our local pound after she
was confiscated from a rescue group, along w/ 53 other cats.
Long story, but I will say that it was all politics and the rescue group was
not @ fault.
Anyway, she has been in her new home for about 2 months and things seemed to be
going fine, until recently.
Any suggestions would be most helpful.
Thanks!
"I'm having trouble getting into my address book so I'm attaching this
to a previous note from you. Abby is not a happy little girl and I don't know
what to do about her. I think she's schizophrenic. In the morning she's a
reasonable cat but by night she's a wild thing. She's still making unprovoked
attacks on the old cats who are now terrified of her. It's to the point that
they won't use their litter boxes because she's lying in wait when they come
out. She takes their bowls away from them--doesn't eat the food but won't let
them eat. I've resorted to putting her in the guest room alone at night so she
doesn't sneak up on Diana ( who sleeps on my pillow) and launch a battle at
three in the morning. And more, Abby has attacked me a couple of times in the
last two days with claws and teeth. I was barefoot at the time and she
shredded the sole of my foot. She can't be petted without fighting back, will
not permit picking up, fights brushing, and is generally hostile. No, I won't
give her up...she might not survive another transfer. But I've got to find a
way to calm her down before she or one of the other girls gets hurt. I've had
Siamese all my life and these are not Siamese characteristics. She comes and
tells me she's hungry several times a day so I've resorted to giving her small
meals at intervals during the day. Since we haven't had storms in several
days, she hasn't had the frantic reactions those brought, but she's really a
mystery to me. She seems to have no concept of human interaction and resents
any attempt at stroking or petting. Any ideas? Thanks, "
