Imagine this:
It's one in the morning, you're sleeping soundly in your room, contently in dreamland. Suddenly, a maintenance man (you live in a senior complex) and an EMS crew complete with stretcher,have joined you in the bedroom. They startle you awake, and you're wondering, "What the Hell! Am I dying?" After realizing you are not, and they stand there dumbfounded, you decide to see what the problem is, and find your cat has played with and triggered the emergency pull cord, and summoned the EMS to your apartment! They tape the cord to the wall, leave you in your embarrassment, and you drift back to dreamland. Two hours later, your door flings open and in they come again! OK, this is a little awkward, .... the problem? They think they taped too tight, and it triggered the alarm again. Or could it be the cat pulled the cord in the bathroom? Hmmmm.
Yes, a true story, it happened to my mother! Well, guess who took the cat!? Am I kidding myself? I must be! Ken said, as long as it doesn't call 911 it's no problem, just didn't have the heart to take it to the humane society. Well, long story short, it's in my craft room, where the litter box and cat food is for her and my other 2 cats. (According to my family, Andy doesn't qualify as such, so I have 1. But to me he's the main man!) Now, this beast, sits on my craft table and growls and hisses at Andy, Punkin, and me! My cats are terrified to go in the room, I'm a little hesitant myself! The cat won't let me near her, she is terrified and terrifying! I think the humane society may be in her future, I don't think this is working out too well! Any suggestions!? HELP!
She has come around. I can enter my craft room without her fleeing behind the craft bins, I can even pet her now, til she realizes I am then comes the hiss! But they're getting fewer which is good. Tonight, I even got her to purr, which I have never heard her do, even with Mom. Punkin ignores her, Andy tried to get into the covered cat box with her, was that hilarious! He jumped in, you could hear Mitzy hiss, and out he flew! They check eachother out, hissing and growling, then ignore eachother and move on. I think it's going to be fine now, she is a pretty cat and is getting more comfortable with her surroundings. Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it! I'm glad I didn't give up on her!
