Simone was a shelter cat I rescued for a mouser. She did not like my dogs or my cats and would not come out of my garage for 3 months but she did get rid of my mice. She settled in and considered us or me family. Unfortunately she was attached by a dog we were "dog sitting". She had major surgery that saved her life. Then we up and moved her from WA State to FL by plane. She started having problems there. I have brought her back to "life" twice by force feeding her. She started her bad behavior in FL and has since continued. (1997)
She has a bad habit of spraying on the air conditioner vent on the wall, yes about 12 inches high. She can find other places too but this seems to be her favorite. I have done everything (almost) to help her. We've been to the doctor over and over. They usually treat her with antibiotics for blood in her urine. But I have a theory that she holds it once I drop her off and then does not urinate until she has gotten herself in this condition. It usually takes a few days to get the urine from her.
You name it and I have tried it. I clean after her, give her the run of the house. We still have two other cats and one dog not to mention three children. She backs them done (the animals). She loves the kids. Sleeps with them and play attacks them. She dislikes almost all strangers. She gets worse when I leave her for a weekend or longer. I seldom do it but have the urine spots to remind me she does not like it.
I do not know what to do with her. Any suggestions? I am sorry this is long but thought a little history would help. I honestly think it is behavioral vs. physical. Berley
