Thanks Motu!

Thanks!

Thanks MingsMongols!  I appreciate the advice.

Just thought of something else; it is always such a struggle to get her into the carrier when I take her to the vet.  I have some Rescue Remedy, the pet version with no alcohol in it; I wondered if anyone knows if it would be safe to give that to her maybe tonight and tomorrow morning before I...

Thank you Denice.  I have called the vet's office and I have asked them if I can bring her in tomorrow morning.  I asked them what type of sedation they would give her, and she said it is up to the veterinarian, but it would either be a tranquilizer shot or gas anesthesia.  I am very nervous...

Good morning all, I just have a question about the safety of having a cat sedated for a vet examination.  My cat Posie is 5 1/2 years old, and gets very aggressive when I take her to the vet, and the last time I took her in for her rabies shot the vet and his assistant had a hard time...

LOL!  Wish I knew one!

My cat loves to lick the plastic blinds on the windows!  She is obsessed with it and you can hardly pry her away from them!

My cat has always licked the plastic blinds on the windows. She is 3 1/2 years old and I adopted her when she was 4 months old.  Every morning when I am feeding her, she runs to the window and licks the blinds.  When I go to get her down from the window, she tries to get on the other side of the...

Thanks so much for your kind words and support RavenCorbie!  I appreciate it very much.  You are correct; I never wanted to choose anyone; I wanted us to all be able to live together peacefully and in harmony.  Yes, he has apologized but he has not come to terms with the fact that I love her and...

Thanks sugarsandz, I appreciate your kind words!  I am sorry you have also had to deal with your sister's complaints about your pets.  I guess I have such a hard time understanding that there are people who don't feel the same way I do about animals (kitties in particular). He has agreed to...

Thanks stephanietx.  I hope the meds are going to help too.  I do have 2 Feliway diffusers plugged in, and I am going to check out more of the Spirit Essences.  I did order the Stress Stopper and tried it for a few weeks; maybe I just didn't give it long enough.  I think I am going to try it...

Thank you.  I am trying my best to hold it all together for Posie's sake as well as my own.  I appreciate your kindness.

Thanks stephanietx, I just came from the vet and they were not sure what these bumps are; Posie gets so stressed out at the vet that she will not let anyone touch her.  Based on what she could see, she said it could be an allergic reaction or stress.  She prescribed Prednisolone, 1 tablet a day...

Thanks CatByTheSea; your words are very kind and much appreciated!  I hopefully will hear from the counseling office to set up my first assessment soon.  I am not sure what their style of therapy is, so I guess I will just have to see what happens with it. I feel so guilty because I am sure my...

Natalie_ca, he doesn't want to change and has told me he isn't.  That is pretty obvious. You are right; I have some hard decisions to make and part of the factor in my decision is Posie and her health.  She is having some issues and I have to determine if they are stress related. Thanks again...

I am so sorry for your loss; I know it is hard when we don't know the reasons.  May you find comfort knowing that you did the best you could and that sometimes things are beyond our control. 

Hi everyone, Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?  My cat Posie has red bumps on the edges of her ears; I just noticed them yesterday and I have noticed that she has been scratching them a lot lately.  She is just coming off a 2 week run of Clavamox for a UTI; I don't know if these...

Hi Natalie_ca, Thanks for your response. Yes, he definitely is a control freak and I admit that his behavior is that of a bully.  Before we got the cat he had issues so I know it isn't her, it is him.  I have started the process of finding a counselor and seeing what my insurance will cover. ...

Thanks for your reply, Misty8723.  You are blessed; I wish that he could be more compassionate and not focus only on negative things, like when she chews on something she shouldn't.    She really is a good cat, but she has some behavioral issues which I am sure are not helped by all the...
