She stays on the counter/stove area and will not get down. She acts like she is now scared of the other kitties we have. She used to be the queen bee and the other kitties would never mess with her and she always ate first and if she walked by the others she would whack them. Well one night the youngest female cat seemed to have had enough and attacked her back. Ever since then my 7 year old kitty hasnt been the same. She no longer attacks the others and remains in the kitchen 24 hours a day, everyday. She comes down to eat but only for a moment. She has now started using the counter as her bathroom. Its horrible and I am tired of cleaning it up. I have brought a litter box in there for her but she refuses to use it. I took her to the vet and they told me she is fine and healthy and sent her home. This has been going on for 4 months now. I feel terrible because I am feeling so much stress towards her when she is my sweet kitty. I love her very very much. I just dont know what is wrong with her. I called the vet again and now all of a sudden the want to see her immediately. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I am feeling so guilty now that all of a sudden the vet wants to see her and I keep thinking what if its bad and she is super ill and has to be put down. Like I said, I feel absolutely guilty. Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.
