Thanks for putting a name to my disease
Fire is another concern but if everything is turned off that is a very remote chance - break in is my biggest concern.
We may need an OCSD anonymous group
Thanks everyone for your replies!
This is looking like a good option
Was thinking of getting a German Shepherd or two.. beautiful dogs + great at guarding.
I try to tell myself that! I figure if Im worrying or not it will be the same outcome. Doesn't seem to change it though! I guess I am just going mental.
Im not worried about what the cats do while there's no one home, its what might happen to them. Basically if someone breaks in, the cats...
Im a stress head - let's get that straight now.
But I want to know if you think I'm just being outright paranoid and unreasonable.
Up until a few months ago I was living with my mother and siblings and as such when I went out there was usually someone home.
Now if we want to go out, there's no...
Yep.. mine aren't allowed in the 'human' part of the house because my OH is allergic. Sad but true.
So we've spent $5000 build a room downstairs for them that leads to an outdoor enclosure. The room is an ultimate cat room, with a bonus sofa bed for me to sleep down there with them!
Im not using them at all anymore, its not worth the risk.
I use Frontline Plus or other similar flea treatments and Im treating her every 3 weeks rather than 4 but she still gets sores especially around base of tail. Yet I have never seen a flea but i know it only takes one.
Who knows if she is...
My cat was prescriped prednisolone tablets a few months ago for flea allergy dermatitis. I was told to give her just the one dose, but i can use the tablets sparingly if she flares up again.
She does flare up often and I was giving her the tablets randomly. I.e one week she had a tablet 3 or 4...
One of my cats has today started sneezing alot.
Its only midday and there's been over 20 sneezes so far today. I've never heard her sneeze ever before.
My other cat is not at all sick and never sneezes.
What would cause this sudden onset of sneezes?
She is displaying no other flu like symptoms...
She loves to be petted, she has the loudest purr I've ever heard in a cat.
Doesn't liked being picked up at all.
At least we are making some slow progress here
Thanks for the replies
Things have improved. She used the litter tray overnight, haven't seen her drink but i assume she has. Is also eating well.
She also came out of her house when I was in the room as well, first time!
Looks like she is going to be fine
I got a new cat over 24 hours ago. She is an adoptee from a shelter. Always a very shy cat, but even more so since arriving at my place.
She does nothing but sit in her bed all day.
She has come out once or twice to eat a little bit.
She has not had a drink since she has been here, over 24...
