Question by melissa: Cat PTS for behavior?
I am considering putting my 4 1/2 year old healthy cat down because her behavior is terrible. I do not know what to do! I feel awful putting a healthy animal down but.. she’s just wired wrong. She attacks unprovoked. I’m talking just walking by.. not cute chasing your feet crap she attacks claws extended she bites to break skin. Cute stuff.. sleeping in the bathroom sink. Not so cute when you’re out of the shower and changing and she literally lunges with the claws with your back turned to her. She’s constantly attacking my poor 16 y/o cat. I can’t even let my great dane be unsupervised with her! She got a claw in her eye and cost me 950 dollars at the e vet. Dane is uber gentle with her and sweet and leaves her alone (maybe tries to sniff her butt here and there). My older cat leaves her alone. My boyfriend and I continue to try to play with her (with that 9 ft da bird thing there is no safer way to play) soothe her psycho and talk sweetly and gentle pets, which works sometimes but always turns aggressive..I really just get to the point where I want to just put her food down and try to avoid her cute crazy ***.

I LOVE her and feel responsible for her, like I would any animal I bring into my home so this feels like giving up. She’s fed a high quality diet (switch between Orijen/Arcana) She’s had urine, fecal and THOROUGH bloodwork several times (as recent as 2 mos. ago seeking cause for behavioral issues) she is spayed. UTD on shots and had a dental recently. My vet requires her to be sedated for grooming, she gets matts and you just can’t even touch her with a brush. She would make a lovely outdoor cat perhaps but this area is not safe at all living near a major interstate. I’d rather give her a gentle goodbye then see her never come home and wonder if she got run over..or find her dead =(

I know rehoming is maybe an option if I could find a good enviornment, but with ALL the cats who need homes who will want mine? She’s a liability, she should NOT live with children under 12 under any circumstance. I would need to find someone who understands her behavior, and understands that she bites and scratches. They hurt and it’s an infection risk so please don’t tell me to just rehome her to anyone..my vet thinks she is territorial, defensive, play aggressive etc.

Any suggestions? Should I just put up with this… and hope that in 10 years she calms down? I feel like this route is also likely.. cause I feel horribly guilty about putting a healthy animal to sleep like I said. I just cant imagine living with all these scratches and bites forever, not being able to groom her or take her to the vet without sedating her… and I feel so bad for my poor senior cat who just wants to eat, sleep, and be left alone!! She has arthritis and she deserves some peace.

What would you do? Please understand that it breaks my heart to consider this. I am crying as I type this because it just sucks. I do my best to take care of her well and I am not abusive, I love all my pets dearly and I am not just trying to dump her off to someone else or PTS cause she’s inconvenient for me.. so please don’t flame me.
I appreciate your thoughtful responses. I have tried some ‘natural remedies’ flower essences and things like that with little-no change. My vet has mentioned euth as an option but it sounded so ridiculous and quite frankly I was angry when she said it…I’ve had cats all my life and never had any issues like this. She’s also referred me to a DVM behaviorist, but noted, as you said, it’s very expensive and cat behavior is very difficult to change. I am still considering it..but I don’t see what would help. I reward her immensely for all calm and gentle behavior…but it’s obvious she can’t help it!! I don’t get mad at her (frustrated of course), I am just very sad we’re all living like this. I keep her separated from my other pets when we’re not home…if I can round her up to get her in my bedroom. Many times I can’t. Still hanging in there.. I’m glad others have heard of this kind of cat agression

Answer by Diana
this isn’t always necessary, just keep trying to work with her and reward her when she is good but tell her off when she is naughty. if you do not have the time or can no longer cope, then consider handing her in to a rescue centre as they will work with her and see if she is suitable for re-homing or not. this way she will have another chance in life and who knows how she might turn out.

just don’t give up and give her the best possible chance you can by giving her that second chance im sure you’ll choose the right thing to do. i wish you all the best x

Question by JaMolec22: Will someone married or very mature please help me out?
The question is: whats more important: someone whos a blast to be around and drop dead gorgeous but somewhat immature or someone whos “kind of” boring but very mature and would be a great life-partner

I want someone who has experience, probably not another college student to answer this question. Yes I feel horrible saying this but I have to get it out and I have to try and get help…

I’m 22, senior in college and have been dating this girl for 3 years.

She’s:
Intelligent (chemical engineering major), very pretty, loves animals, very down to earth, good morals, and would be a PERFECT mom who would raise great kids and probably a great wife…

but there’s also this other girl who Ive been friends with for the past three years. She is so incredibly beautiful and animated I can’t even understand it sometimes, every time we go to any bar guys are constantly covering her with attention and buying her drinks, its almost impossible not to stare at her. But whatever, that’s fine. That’s not a reason to leave someone,

but she is ALSO a very intelligent, unique person with good morals, and UNLIKE my girlfriend (because my girlfriend has very severe social anxiety) she is extremely FUN. Any moment you spend with her is just awesome. So normally I would just break up with my girlfriend and go for her.

However, there are a lot of “mature” qualities that my girlfriend has that this girl does not. And that’s where you come in. I need to know how important fun is vs maturity when it comes to spending years and years with someone.

My girlfriend eats healthy and will always be in great shape because she understands the importance of it. She also tries to spend her time in productive ways, and she is very wise in her thinking about the world. She is very fair and mature when it comes to arguments and in general.

But this other girl has none of those qualities. She is LOTS of fun, but not very mature. She seems like the type of person who might want a divorce or something just because she wants something new, or not be that great of a mom. She watches a lot of stupid tv shows for hours. She does not eat healthy and NEVER gets exercise (I have no idea how she is in such great shape, but I really doubt it will last for more than 10 years). She is also much less wise and would be a lot harder to have serious deep conversations with. And I dont think shed be that great of a mom.

I’m thinking I can get over the whole drop-dead gorgeous thing because that’s just my stupid penis telling me things. And the “boredom” I sometimes feel with my girlfriend…can that void be filled with kids, pets, a job and good friends?

It’s getting really bad…I was so fricking attracted to this girl last night and was having so much fun as we danced and I felt horrible. and still do.

Ill add more details if needed. Thanks for any advice

Answer by Cracker Jack
The boredom isn’t even a big issue, anyway–just you being a bit more complicated than you need to be. Being “fun” doesn’t mean your relationship would be better, either; the fun factor has its limits after a while.

The other girl is merely a diversion. Ignore it. That wouldn’t go anywhere.

Question by Shani: Is there a way to take care of your dog while living in dorms?
I know there is a very slim chance of it happening but i wish i wish I didn’t have to leave me dog with my mom for a year until I get my own place. I haven’t gone off to college yet, I’m gonna be a senior in HS. I know very very very few colleges allow pets other than fish, and sadly I’m not applyin to any of them. I thought about a kennel, but that’s a lot of money for a whole year. I doubt I’ll find a way to do it, but I will just miss her so much, especially being in a new environment for the first time. It would just be good to have her around…

Answer by chetco
My little brother found a house to rent with friends. If you do an online search for pet-friendly housing in the college town, you will find homes that rent to students. The rent cost for my brother was no more than living on campus.
I have found such housing for several people that ask me.
