Hello there,
Before I start explaining to you what happen, I just wanna say that English is not my native language, so excuse any mistake I might do.
I had to put to sleep my 10 year old female cat and I really am heart broken.. Actually taking medication to calm me down.
I had my girl for 10 years, since she was a few weeks old. Always a little devil, overstimulated, a little play-aggression which we managed to control but extremely smart, trained, spayed and absolutely in love with me. As I was with her. For me she was my daughter!
The problems we had was that she was anti-social, too dependend to me, and quite easily irritated. But she never ever EVER attacked me.
Even if had people at home and although I told them not to try to pet her, if they did, she wouldn't claw them. She would just slap them just to let them know she doesn't want to be touched and would leave.
Two years ago I found a really sick male kitten, around 4 months old. I couldn't leave him die alone, so I adobt it him. My girl accepted him (although not with pleasure) for 3 months.
Out of the blue, the boy was sleeping on the couch and Georgie (the girl) did something wrong and I scold her. She ran away, then turn around and attacked the little one viciously. She was going to kill him, she actually peed herself while running to catch him. I tried to break them up, took the male cat and put him in a room. My cat started attacking me all over and tried to get it into the room.
After a while she went out at the balcony and managed to close the door so I can get the other cat out (really small appartment). When she saw me through the curtains she started hissing and bumping her head to the glass to get in, at that point I though she would break her head. No need to say that I gave rehomed the male cat.
After an hour, Georgie was normal. I had to go to the hospital! We had no incidents since then.
Almost ten months ago I moved in with my boyfriend in a new house. I was a little scared about how Georgie would adjust. But she did pretty well.
She loved my boyfriend so much, I think she replaced me with him actually, she loved how big and sunny the house was. She seemed happy.
About two months ago we had one or two intence fights with my boyfriend. When she heard us yelling she came to us running ready to attack us both. Even when we were trying to calm her down, she would chace us from room to room and hissing and us. She would calm down though after an hour or so and become her old sweet self. I though she was trying to protect me, because we were so bonded, but that can;t be it, since she was attacking both of us.
After those incidents, Georgie starting attacking us even when she heard loud noises when we played or laugh. We had to calm her down everytime. (She didn't draw blood like 2 years ago though. just warning us) . Those incidents became more frequent, almost every other day.
Two days ago, she heard from an app from my cell phone a little kitten. And that was it!! I saw the devil himself. I cannot even describe what we faced. She attacked us both so visiously. She even tried to climb the chair so she can jump on my boyfriend. I managed to lock my self in another room. My boyfriend stayed in the living room and she wouldn't leave him move a finger.
After almost an hour she was hiding under our coffe table, always starring at my boyfriend ready to attack and howling. When we though that she was kinda calm we went and sit down in the living room and talked to her softly so she can calm down. I told my boyfriend to unplug the Christmas light because I was starting to think that she might be epileptic or having a seizure.
When my boyfriend tried to unplug them, and alhtough he didn't came close to her she ran towards him and attacked him again.
She had us completely immobilized for 4 hours!! Everytime he tried to move she would attack!
We got a chance and closed her in the kitchen with food and water and hoped that the next morning she would be calm.
She was crying all night, when we opened the door I managed to pet her head once, and my boyfriend got her new food. When I tried to exit the room she attacked me again.
We managed to close her in another room and went to 5 different doctor. Unfortunately not with her, we couldn't even get near the door.
All of them told me that it might be something neurological, a tumor, feline ania, or a very violent behaviour.
They all told me that either way, the solutions was keeping her sedaded for the rest of her life, or euthanasia. We don't have many doctors for pets in my country unfortunately.
At night the doctor came to see her, if she was calm we would see what's wrong with her. but no luck... So we had to put her to sleep.
To give you an example this is how she looked:
I don't know if I did everything I could. I want you to believe me I did everything I could. I love her with all my heart.. I'm quite sedaded right now as well..
Please tell me that I did the right thing. Please tell me something.. My heart is braking for my little girl
