Morning all,
Don’t know how things are doing elsewhere, but here it’s at an all-time low. My health is far from being alright, Small Kitty’s behaving has taken a very bad turn as well as his BS… The latest are very pushing me to the limit, so bad that I was thinking about going ahead with the final shot this morning.
You might know that I was hospitalized at the Montreal Neurological Hospital last month to evaluate my epilepsy. In order to do that, medication was stopped to trigger seizures that were recorded through connectors that were glued onto my head going to a computer and a video camera filming 24/7. This lasted 2 weeks during which I did more than a dozen seizures and many more ‘’aura’’ (frightening sensation preceding seizures warning me it’s about to blow up). All these thunderstorms in the brain had already taken their toll on me, it took me a full week to recover. On release, there has been some change in medication that seemed stealth at first but just when I was about to get back to work a seizure blew up then another one at the office. It seemed that a new medication was triggering the seizures, it’s been stopped now. Doctors haven’t come back to me with a plan following the hospitalization; I’m waiting with seizure at the front door that I fear can happen at any one time.
As if this was not enough, a long lasting problem came back. Small Kitty and his brother have been left to go outside for some time on an on and off basis. Cause of the exercise or who knows what, BS was going down when Small Kitty spent the nights outside. Things have changed for the worst lately. One : Small Kitty was late in coming back home; Two : BS was rising instead of going down. So with the kitties left to be taken care of by a pet sitter + the reasons above, outside rides were cut off. All hell broke loose after that, Small Kitty started meowing none stop at night and started peeing here and there in the apartment. Protecting existing and new spots with pet diapers helped but it didn’t stopped. One morning I woke up with my laptop on the kitchen table soaked with urine, it never started again. With this and SL running high, my patience / moral was starting to go very low on the kitty file. Luckily Big Brother like always is no trouble maker, he’s always snuggling and handling right.
Correcting a pet after the fact is useless, it will never understand why he’s being corrected.. I don’t like doing that but this morning the occasion presented itself to pass the message. After waking me up with his strong meowing, Small Kitty started peeing on the bin just in front of me. This was too much, I blew up. I grabbed him and cleaned the floor using his head ! I then let him go for some reflection and then sprayed him in the face to wash him up. I was in rage and it was only the beginning. When I set myself for breakfast I found a lake of urine on top of the kitchen table, this could only come from Small Kitty.
It was too late for correction, it was already done but Small Kitty noticed my rage in my eyes and ran away.
Small Kitty’s behavior + SL problem that seems impossible to correct is starting to take its toll on me. This is something I really don’t need right now, it doesn’t make sens to have a pet ruining your moral like that. I went to sleep for a moment after the mess and was reflecting on how to put an end to the mess. The ‘’final shot’’ by the vet would be another expense I can’t afford and doing it myself would flag me as a monster. Sending him to a pet shelter would be a slow death sentence in a cage, it’s even worst.
I just don’t understand how things have turned so badly, could be my mind that has reached its limit. And I don’t see any solution but going blind on bad SL and patching all peeing spots with diapers. Question is ‘’What’s next’’? I prefer not to think about it, hope the correction he received this morning will dissuade him from pursuing this meowing and pee mess.
Sorry for dumping this load of bad news on the forum, I’m just overwhelmed these days with everything going on.
Hope things a going better on your side, I understand what you feel if they’re not.
