Poisoning, death of my beloved cat Leonine Options

[corinnajane]

It is almost a year now since my boy cat died. He was poisoned. I am very, very upset about it.

The hospital tried to save him but it was no use. And the staff were amazed at how gentle and friendly he was. Even though he was in agony, and dying, he still kept trying to make friends and cuddle people.

I got a lovely lady vet to come and help put him down at home. And I know I did the right thing.

But it really hurts.

These are all wonderful suggestions; thank you so much for your comments.

Moon_Beam, that is an appalling story. How can people be so callous? To attack an innocent animal, in such a cowardly fashion. It really is staggering that people can sometimes do things like that.... I'm so sorry to hear that your beloved Samson had such a horrific experience. It's great that you had the chance to move to a more pet-friendly, safe and calm environment.

I am fairly confident that Tepper's behaviour isn't due to any other medical issues. I'm not big on chemical interventions, but I will certainly give it a go if the vet believes that it might help. I will explore the other options of homeopathy.... And, in fact, my chiropractor really helped me with one of my other animals. Maybe I could see if that helps.

I think Tepper is in danger of alienating the others completely.....

At the moment, I am giving her lots of space and quiet. She has a basket on top of the wardrobe, where she can look down at everything and feel safe.

I am also trying to intersperse this with playtime sessions, where we play with some feathers and string toys, and Tepper can let off some steam. She is an amazing athlete - incredibly fast and agile.

It must be so confusing for a young animal, to have one of the constants in your life suddenly disappear. It makes me really sad to see her struggling with the situation. I don't want her to feel any pain, but this seems to be inescapable.....
