This cat's gonna kill me yet. She has recently had a series of aggressive behaviors....towards me! She is on Amitriptyline, an anti-depressant. It has been helping so far, but lately(the last 2 weeks or so?) it doesn't seem to work anymore. Before she was attacking other cats & dogs. Now, she is good about the dogs. She has gotten to playing really rough/aggressive with Dorian....and poor little Dory doesn't like it.
I'll be calling the vet later this afternoon. I want to know if there are other choices for meds out there. I'll have to pick up a refill for the feliway diffuser...not for Ophelia but for poor Damita. Ophelia takes pride in the fact that she can walk right up to Damita's face & beat on her without Damita knowing.
Ophelia still maintains her "I love people" stance, though. She greets people when they come to see her & loves the attention. She's actually an attention hog & for the most part good with me. I can't come up with a reason why she attacked me last night. I'm pretty sure the world revolves around this cat, at least that's what she thinks.
Would a "time out" work for a cat? Would she even understand? I thought about keeping a carrier out & just putting her in that when she misbehaves....but I don't want to cause more problems.
