I'm at my wits end, seriously, and as much as I love her and as much money as I've just spent on her, I'm at the "finding her a new home" brain thinking of my decisions -_-
about a week ago I got my cat Paint Spayed, one for her health, (she had very short, irregular heat cycles) upon having her spayed the vet discovered she had an unusually immature reproductive tract. AND because she was becoming increasingly mean with the other two cats.
she had a bit of an upset after the surgery, got extremely sick, I took her to the vet and they put her on IV-fluids, gave her some anti-biotics and tube fed her to get some food into her stomach, kept her over night and the next day she had done a complete 360 degree flip, and was back to being normal (as normal as she ever was lol), So I brought her home.
HOWEVER, in the last couple days she's gotten increasingly mean with the other two cats, her sister Emry, who doesn't put up with it and promptly puts her in her place, and Finn, who she is terrorizing, because Finn does not fight back.
She's also been going at Emrys kittens, who are now 9 weeks old, particularly the two male kittens, which is a sore spot with Emry as well who goes after Paint, I'm afraid Paint is going to get hurt so soon after being spayed, but she HAS to stay in the basement now with the rest of us, because I live with my grandpa and he no longer wants my cats allowed access to the upstairs part of the house.
I was always told spaying CALMS cats down, not this cat. I know she's not in pain anymore because she runs and jumps and plays, she's just mean.
between spaying her AND the extra vet visit I am out 1,200$ on this cat, in the last week! so I don't wanna up and ship her down the road, but I have very little tolerance for this much upset, just when Emry and Finn were *kind of* starting to tolerate one another.
