Cheetah is 14 yrs 6.5lb. Fs previously feral cat I have had indoor only since she was 4 months old. She lived peacefully with Rusty my cat who I had to have euthanized at 17y in 2017.
Cheetah has hyperthyroid, LSA (suspect) an intestinal mass, asthma, very poor lungs with infiltrates shown on radiographs x 14 yr. She also most likely has kidney disease and heart disease as her BNP was high normal last year. She also has chronic constipation. She is treated with Methimazole, Prednisolone, Chlorambucil, Cerenia, VitB12 injections, SQ fluids only 50cc as needed, very rarely Odansetron for breakthrough nausea, but haven’t had to use it for a year. She eats Royal Canin venison canned and that has stopped the vomiting.
probably all that isn’t relevant. Bottom line is, she is ill and sleeps a lot. There isn’t much to her. Her respiratory rate is always elevated. She isn’t miserable. She greets me at the door and talks allot. She loves to hang out on the couch with me.
Omypaw is a stray Mn 12 lbs big solid cat about 3 years old I took in last year. It took around 4 months before I could let them be together.
They were getting along as good as could be expected. When Cheetah would go to the other room he chased her. It would stop as soon as she stopped running.
Around 2 am this morning he chased her and tackled her, she was screaming. She got away and he tackled her again, she was still screaming. By that time I had jumped over the sofa and was able to grab him but not a great hold, he leaped on her again and all I had was his tail. Finally got his scruff and tossed him in a bedroom. He is still there. He has water and litter.
Although Cheetah had no wounds, she was so stressed I thought I might lose her. She seems better today. I don’t know what to do. The room where I used to keep them separated is not there anymore and it’s not my house, so I can’t leave a litter pan out for her and keep him in the bedroom. I am beyond frustrated and very worried about when I have to work a 12 hour shift tomorrow. Any advice appreciated.
