I am looking for some input from others on how to go about Lola. I set her loose in the basement(family room & two hallways) because of the recently neutered males in the dog crate & bathroom. I had no where else to put her. She had a panick attack, ripped out a bunch of fur, bit me, scratched me, & finally crashed into enough things to knock some sense into her. I never, ever, want to do that to her again. I had no idea she would react like that. The toms went to the HS today, so Lola is back in the bathroom. She is in the bathroom with Damita & Chico(the fosters) who both have a cold & are started on Clavamox today. Captain is also in the bathroom. He isn't neutered yet....sometime the end of next week(either thur or fri). He keeps trying to "pounce" on Lola. I guess he will have to live in the dog crate. Lola, Damita, & Chico get along so well. They bathe each other & play together. The deaf cat(Lola) & blind cat(Damita) sure make a cute pair.
I cannot leave Lola home when I go to the HS, she has to come with Damita & Chico.
What can I do to tame Lola down? Any suggestions at all? First she got a bath, then she get spayed, then she got set loose in the basement. I think I moved too fast for her. My goal is to be able to set her loose in the basement in two months, but if that doesn't happen, that's fine with me. I have never done this before with a feral as a housecat, so I don't know how to approach this. I put caps on all of her nails. She is spayed & UTD on shots. She gets good food, a warm place to sleep, sleeping buddies, & sometimes these hairless creatures that walk funny on two legs touch her. lol She looks at me like I am a freak when I go to pet her. She loves to get petted, & to get her ears & chin scratched. She purrs when I scratch her ears & chin. I know she is very confotable here & happy, but she panicks so easily because of the deafness.
