UPSET KITTY
- We have saved a cat named Hollie. She had the tip of her tail taken off by a razor blade and then the stitches came out too early and so they had to super glue what was left of it. She then started attacking her tail and spraying in the house. Her owner asked if I would take her in, thinking her house with grandchilderen running around was too much for Hollie to handle. Well I did and she did seem to settle right down. Then a few years later, I rescued a stray cat and she started attacked her tail again and any other cat that walked by her (we now have a total of 7 all rescued) and spraying. We went to the vet thinking maybe a UTI but no, then had her doubled checked a week later after just to make sure. Still nothing. So she is now on anti-anxiety meds for 1-2 months. The thinking is because of her past history with her tail injury she is prone to be stressed out easier and so bringing in a stray cat may have upset her.

Urine problems...
- I have a siamese who is bonded to me and has been the king of the castle for about 3 years. We introduced a new Bengal kitten into our home and Champ resented her from the start. Looking back now, I believe that Champ intimidated our Cleo. Cleo had accidents and wherever these accidents took place Champ came and peed on that spot too. Long story short we contemplated all possibilities. I own an insurance agency and my staff said, "Why not let Champ come and live at the office?" I resisted at first, but then realized that it was the only option. I didn't know if he would pee there as well or not. I did not know if Cleo would stop peeing outside of her box. Here it is one month later. Champ loves the office. He is once again king of the castle and he is extremely happy. Cleo has a perfect tract record since Champ left. I still have my fingers crossed. Champ does not miss Cleo, but Cleo misses Champ. It's the best ending to the problem I think. Cleo is really coming along.

- Honey was a foster-adopt five year old kitty boy. I took him to be with my other guys and soon Honey was peeing on everything with a smile on his face. THE VET SAID NOTHING WAS wrong, so home he came and christened EVERYTHING once again. He did not like being with so much competition, so we housed him with a buddy in a basement apartment, no more spraying or soiling. He continues to be a great boy and helps me with my computer work. Yes, he still smiles.
