Hello everybody, “English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse me for any mistakes I might commit in it.
It is going to be a long post, because I do not know what to do, and I have limited options where I live.
I am at the end of my hopes, everything. We have a long history of extreme aggression by this cat.
We live in an small apartment with my husband, both he and I have had several cats through our lives. Last year I found a sick cat where I work, she was one to two months old, tuxedo cat. She used to had an eye problem, we were about to lose her eye. She was a bit anxious cat, but she always used to purr and be lovely.
On a long medication history, she got well at the end. But about 8-12 months she started to get into heat continuously.
Her vet refused to spay her due to her weakened immunity. On the other hand, it was unbearable for us, she used to scream all night long for weeks, without giving any pause.
Than we changed the vet, and her new wet said that we can spay her and did the surgery.
After the surgery, because she used cone, lost her balance fell down somewhere and broke her leg.
No surgery was needed but her feet needs to be wrapped. After all, she got well.
1st attack episode
So, now I come to the point. One day, my husband saw our cat swallowed a small piece of plastic bag, my hubby took her to vet. Vet gave an oxygenated water to her.
Meanwhile because of the cat, we started to argue with my husband because of the cat. I started to cry and yell, and I am sorry to say this, I start to hit and and shake my husband.
Suddenly, my cat came towards me and attacked me viciously in the kitchen, which is a very narrow place.
Several scratches and bites, which were serious, I needed to be hospitalized for the attack. No need to say that my husband was my cat ‘s favorite person, and the one she trusts.
Following the attack we found a cat behaviorist, he recommended some adaptations in our house, but as I mentioned in the beginning our apartment is very small, so the things that we can do is limited. We started to use felliway, and we added some boxes in order to catify the house. Also we put her to prozac.
And every evening I played with her using an cat to fishing pole.
2nd attack episode
One night my phone rang, I had a very very good news, and start to cry because of happiness. My husband and I was in the kitchen again. He also got happy and we got very close. The cat was very near of us, she start to show agression signs, My husband warned me and I left the place. Unfortunately, my husband moved towards the cat to calm her down, and the attacked happened again.
The second attack was very very serious , she started to pee and poo and could not get to normal even after two days.
This time she was very angry with my husband. When he sees her start to hiss and get mad.
She was ok with me, but when she sees the husband, she was getting mad.
3rd attack episode.
We took her to her bed behaviorist (he lives in another city) and she stayed there for 40 days. We take back her yesterday, and bring back to our house.
She was extremely lovely, and good to my husband. She was so so ok.
But than suddenly she saw my husband in the hallway suddenly, and start to hiss and tried to attack...
Now I closed her in a small room with food and toilet. She stayed in the room for the night.
Could you give me some advice, depseratly I need and advice. How my husband and her could establish the bonds again? Is it possible?
