There's been a lot of upheaval in my life lately. My husband was away from home for 4 months hospitalized before he passed away April 1st at the age of 32. I am sure that this hasn't been helping my cats, who are generally not friends and often squabble (but one becomes inconsolable without the other at home, I have found out.)
My personal circumstances are requiring me to move out of my apartment at the end of the month. My downstairs neighbors are letting me live with them so that I am not homeless. I have enough money to feed myself and the cats for 10 months if I don't get a job.
At any rate, I'm going to copy/paste from my Facebook. For the record, Carly has Feline hyperesthesia.
I don't think I am going to be able to keep my cats.
I just woke up to the worst cat fight they have ever had. I wasn't sleeping well anyway due to leg pain.
Carly is completely non-responsive and shut down under the kitchen cabinets. She had been in my bedroom window when Binky went up there and chased her off. It took me five minutes to herd Binky into my bedroom and shut the door. She is scratching to get out and Carly is shaking like a leaf.
Only Tom was ever able to help Carly like this. I can't do a full separation without him. It could be two weeks before Carly comes out of the cabinets, and lately Binky has been sitting there in front of them. But Binky can't stay in my room for two straight weeks. I have to get in for my clothes, etc and she would just run straight out.
And if they're fighting really bad now, what is it going to be like when I have to bring them downstairs where there's an already existing cat and oftentimes a dog?
I don't think that I will be able to keep them.
