I'm Going to Have an Attack - Guaranteed

[2quilt]

I had to do the same thing a few years ago, Herc. The new third kitty was starting fights and finally when she attacked my Valentine's Day dozen roses vase, I lost control and spanked her. I had to take her back to the humane society that day, Valentine's Day, and tell them to get her a home where she is the only cat. When we were alone, she was wonderful, but when she had to share me with two others, she fought them and drew lots of blood. I cried and cried all day.

This story makes me sad to BUT there is a silver lining toall this. The stress level of my other 2 kitties is almost -O-.

They have stopped pacing. I didn't realize, but they were pacing almost constantly.

The male persian BC is now visible. He was always in hiding. I thought that was what he wanted Wrong! He was in hiding.

Hercules has been looking for the missing cat, but it is more of an on guard type of where is she.

I feel very good about the decision I made to re-home Fancy. She had to be just as stressed as the remaining 2 kitties. I still have not mourned her yet abd I may never mourn her.

When I was packing for our move last July, my female persian, Lovely, got very very sick. We had to have her put down because of it. I have never really mourned her because due to her condition I was being kind to her.

But then of course, I could just be numb due to all the drastic changes that have happened to me since July. Who knows?

Sounds more like numb to me.

TLight,

I agree, numb is it. Gonna be hell to pay when all this catches up with me. Never thought about it that way.

 

[Grama-Herc]

Well, I think that we have all adjusted to loosing our Fancy. Everybody seems to be unstressed and I am now longer waiting for my meltdown.

I feel confident that the decision I made was the right one. . It was for the best. So I refuse to feel guilty for not feeling guilty.

So, I will now oficially cancell the melt down notice

I appreciate everyone's good wishes for me and my kitties. We seem to have recovered from Our Miss Pants leaving.

I must admit that BC and Hercules are much happier and more relaxed and just generally happier kitties. BC saw the vet yesterday and his heart condition seems to be completely under control---if not gone. He is no longer hiding and is out and about enjoying his cat tree. In fact, the vet basically released him from his 4 week check ups.

Hercules is just the same. Spoiled and demanding and the love of my life. He looked for our Fancy for a couple of days, but has stopped that completely. He is more playful these days and is interacting more with BC.

So, thank you to everyone for your support with we grieved our loss
