*sigh* I've actually found myself recently considering giving up one of my 6 cats -the first I ever adopted. Since 2003 my life has reolved around this cat. When I adopted her they neglected to tell me she has seizures. I dealt with it cause she's always been my favorite, and I know anyone else would have put her to sleep. But after all these years - having to have a vet that makes house calls yearly to do bloodwork on her, the medications, her 100% refusal to use the litterboxes no matter what I've tried (so I put down puppy pads, and she still dumps all over the house), not being able to ever live in a home with carpeting because of her, not being able to open up my other rooms to the other cats because this one will come in and crap on my bed or clothes, or couch...having to be home every 12 hours to give her phenobarbitol, not being able to ever sleep over at a boyfriend's house or go on a trip because no one lives nearby to give her meds, and I can't board her anywhere cause she gets seizures when taken out of the house...I can't take it anymore.
None of the vets had any clue why she would poo all over the house. It's not behavior related, there's nothing else wrong with her, blood tests always come back fine... my last attempt at dealing with this is trying to wean her off the phenobarbitol hoping that will fix her issue because quite frankly, I don't remember her being like this before we put her on meds.
Guys, I have 6 cats, I cater to them, take them all to the vet, care for them, and make sacrifices like I think good owners should do, cause they're supposed to be like family, hell, I even have a cat tattoo lol but I'm at my wits end with this cat. I can't have people over to my home anymore because despite the furniture she's ruined that can't be used or got dumped so there's not many places left to sit, there's always poo on the floor when I come home. I can't take much more of this.
Have ANY of you ever dealt with any problems like this?
