So.. I adopted this 7-year old Siamese cat from the humane society here. The story on her was that she lived with one family for 7 years, then they suddenly got rid of her after they became allergic. She came with another cat who had been adopted already. At first, she was fearful, would hide under things and not come out. I was told by the humane society that this was normal and would take a month or two to come out of. So I waited...
Slowly she came out of shell. I got bit or scratched a few times trying to coax her out, but gave up and just fed/watered her and let her come out at her own pace. We had two other cats, both males that normally get along with any cats, but don't seem to like her...
Fastforward to this year. She has utterly destroyed my room, clothes in my shelves, books, bed, and event the counter at times from poop and pee. She while using the litterbox at times won't use it all the time. She still won't get along with other cats but wants affection. I try to spend time in the bedroom with her, bring her out to the other rooms, give her affection, think she's doing fine. She rewards me by crapping on my stuff. Today I fed her, she ran back in the bedroom after eating, litterbox was clean, she runs to the bed and starts peeing. I put her in the litterlbox she jumps out, I put her back, jumps out, goes and craps on the bed...
I've tried to put up with it but all my clothes and stuff are practically ruined. I do not want to abandon her, especially that old because I don't want her put to sleep or even just to get rid of her because of behavior, that's cruel. .... But I don't know what to do. I didn't expect this. I've tried to work her out of it and it doesn't work. She has no health issues as she's been checked. So it's all behavior but...
... What do I do at this point? Last night she crapped on the bread, and peed in the stove burner...
