Tomorrow, or later today actually, it seems we'll be going back down to three cats...
Four years ago a starving, abandoned kitten showed up in our yard. After feeding her, she basically waltzed right into our house and decided she wanted to live with us. It didn't take very long for us to notice that she was slightly...different. We've never had her diagnosed by a vet but she definitely had mental problems, most likely from being abandoned. It got even worse later on after we had her fixed and she ripped her own stitches open. For a LONG while after that, she acted like she was looking for the lost kittens she never had.
We moved to a new house about three years later, and she took it surprisingly well. She seemed quite shocked the first time we took her outside, acting more surprised about the outdoor change than the indoor one. For some reason, she also picked up a new habit of rescuing towels in the middle of the night. If you happened to leave anything near the tub or sink in the bathroom, she would drag it out into the living room and start howling. She was quite strange.
The past few months, she's gotten so much worse. She acts like she can't remember HOW to eat. She'll sit in front of her plate, beg for food, act VERY interested in eating it, but she can't seem to figure out how to get the food in her stomach. She's also gotten so stressed out by the other cats to the point where she will NOT go in the bathroom or touch the litterbox, and she's switching between brief phases of needed extra attention or growling if we even get near her.
It seems all we can do for her now is have her put down...
