[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 96274"] I can't put her in the basement here because there is a kitty door cut into the basement door and I would have to block it off. The basement door is right by the door going to the garage, so if I block it off we can't get out to the garage. And when I move December 1, I won't have a basement. Baby Kitty really doesn't like closed doors. I have chunks of carpet missing around the door frames. For the past year or so, she's been spending most of her time in my room. She'd come down to eat and use the litter box, but hung out mainly in my room. The last couple of months she's been coming downstairs just to go after the other cats. And I'm not talking a little tussell. I'm talking knock-down, drag-out cat fight complete with the screaming and fur flying. Then she reappears (cause you don't mess with her til she's calmed down...unlike my other cats) and she has injuries on her face. She's let me clean them up and put antibiotic ointment on. Baby Kitty is one of those cats where you don't make any sudden movements. She had an abscess on her neck a few years ago and I tried to pick her up to put her in the carrier to take her to the vet. She pulled half of my fingernail out of the nail bed with one swipe. When she needs antibiotics, I have to get them in liquid form and I mix it in with tuna. This is one cat I am not giving a pill to. Now when she needs to go to the vet, I leave the carrier open in the middle of the room with a blanket laid inside and wait for her to go in. Luckily, cats like little cubby holes to curl up in. I've been giving her extra attention cause I thought it might be jealousy, however not when she's attacked the other cats. I wait until later when she's calmed down and then give her lots of attention. And I try to keep her separated from the others as much as possible. She's only been this way with one other cat. I took that one in cause he was deaf and his owners were going to take him to the humane society. She seems to like the 'easy' targets. I don't think I can go through with this. I have to figure something out. I may not have bonded with her, but she's very neurotic. I really think she has neurological deficiencies. You just have to see her to understand. When we moved into this house in 2002, she spent the first week behind the furnace in the basement...wouldn't come out. I just don't think she'd do well going to the humane society. I have to find a way to make this work. I just can't do this to her. [/QUOTE]
