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.

Thank you everyone, for your kind words and great suggestions! You are all so supportive. You have no idea how much this is helping!

How do you use the Rescue Remedy with a cat? Do you put it on their fur? And how much should you use?

I don't take offence re the comments about spraying because I had no idea that it had happened until afterwards. And, quite frankly, the council man would be the one responsible because he did NOT abide by the safety guidelines. If indeed that is what caused the poisoning.... Not that I can find any other cause. I've never had an animal experience anything remotely similar, and, as I said, all dangerous substances are kept to a minimum at my house... And are all safely secured.

I do agree that Tepper is withdrawing from the family unit somewhat.... But the trouble is that her younger brother is now becoming quite aggressive towards her. I hate to say it, but I have seen him try to attack her on four occasions now. He is not playing.

Tep's younger brother, Lamington, is a little sweetheart who is exceptionally affectionate and loving towards his sisters. Like Leonine, he adores me as well. However, he does not tolerate outsiders (cats). Even though he is a teenager, he has ushered several fully-grown, vicious male toms from the property. It is quite amazing to see him in action. He does not even fluff up, but he leaves them in no doubt that he will not tolerate their presence.

I am really concerned that Tepper's erratic behaviour is turning Lamington against her. This is the last thing we need.

That is one of the reasons why I make sure to pat them all, and transfer their scent to eachother.

My poor baby girl! The love of her life is gone and she doesn't know what to do.
