Hey everyone! About six month ago, I ended a long term relationship and moved into a small apartment with my 3 year old cat and dog. My cat seemed fine at first but his anxiety has gotten increasingly worse. It got to the point that he would cry every time I tried to go to sleep. He also has a strange obsession with the front door. He runs to it and cries and cries until I distract him with a toy. Then he goes back. I tried to ignore him but he began body slamming himself into the door - seriously, he would get all the way up to the peephole on the door.
He did have a UTI but after 3 trips to the vet and two rounds of antibiotics, it's all better. My vet put him on prozac. The prozac mixed with feliway diffusers, a sentry calming collar, calming spray, bach's rescue remedy, a second litter box, and a giant new cat tree has helped quite a bit. He's still going to the door and crying though! I can't really take him outside because there are always people walking their giant dogs and he HATES dogs (other than mine, of course). I can let him on the balcony but he's so slim he can fit through the bars and I'm scared he'll jump off.
Any advice? I just want my poor kitty to be happy!
