Well I'll be honest I never knew they could be prescribed them!
My aunt has had tigger for 10 months, he spent 7 months at The Celia Hammond trust, and then some time with a family, who gave him to my aunt when they moved overseas.
He seemed fine with my uncle, but not so with my aunt. He'd nip her here and there, but then going up the stairs he'd come behind her and attack her, and last time he bit her so hard it bled quite bad. I looked on here and told her the advice here was to take him to the vet as the last attack was bad, the vet has put him on anti-depressents. He has stopped attacking, but now is less active, the garden he loves he hardly visits, and spends most of his time sleeping...my aunt said she would rather have him bite than be like this with no life, so she took him back and they lowered the dosage.
Has anyone ever had a cat on medication like this? Has anyone got any idea why his behaviour is like this in the first place? Do you think he is insecure as in the long time he spent at the trust, and then settling with a family who then passed him onto my aunt he hasn't been very secure..also why just my aunt he attacks! She loves him to pieces and the thought to give him away has never, and will never be an option for her, she won't give up on this little guy but any thoughts, suggestions, or any stories of your own I could pass on would be a huge help to settle her mind.
