Hi i have a 8 year old half siamese half tabby cat, Elivs.
this is fairly long so i will try and make it as short as i can!
i went to live with my boyfriend and left my cat with my dad, not out of choice but at the time my partner only had a flat and we felt it was not fair to my cat. being apart from my cat for about a year my dad had new carpets put down and my cat started to stratch alot, during this time we had bought a house and my cat came to live with me, he was really red & kept straching he had lots of tests done and they said he was allergic to about a million things food/dust/flys/different types of grass & plants etc.
but within about 3weeks of living with me he stopped stratching and became really happy again, the vets decided that it was down to being apart from me and he did this for attention.......:roll:
well after 2years we have had to sell our house (through just not being able to afford it :-( ) and we could only afford to rent a flat so once again my cat has gone back to my dads, and once again he has started to stratch/pull his hair out again, he has had courses of injections ranging from everyday to every month. but they have decided that it is jsut behavioural and it is because he doesnt live with me. :roll:
but he keeps doing it even when i visit him he walks off drops to the floor and pulls out hair! the strange thing is i suffer with Trichotillomania (hair pulling) and i even wonder if he LEARNT it from me?!?! :roll: :o
is this possible? i just dont know what to do for the best i dont want to give him up he is really well cared for but until next year there is no way of him living with me!
Also he is always getting blocked up and cant go to the loo, he has had this since he was a kitten he is on latulose everyday, for, forever really, and i suffer with IBS, does that cat pick up on my feelings? or is it just me? because my whole family says this? :roll: :o
i just wanted to hear others views on me & my really connected cat! (Elvis!) [/FONT]
