mstakenidentityBecause Puck has been peeing on everything soft he can reach (especially if it belongs to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mc_shamo) today I put him in the carrier and walked up to the vet. They were very pleased to see him again, though concerned about the urinating.
Long discussion short. Puck is stressed. He had a pretty hard life before we got him, the vet told me that when he was originally brought in to them it was by a lady who'd heard her large dogs worrying something in the shed and found a starved little kitten there. The vet also thinks it possible since he has reacted to Seamus' stuff the way he has that some human male may have hurt him too. Then he's been shipped from home to home, and never been anywhere for more than a few weeks apart from the vet. Now he's living in a nice house with people who feed him, but it could be taken away at any moment, plus there is this other, more established cat to deal with.
The vet gave (not sold, gave, God they're nice at that vet, and they really love Puck since he was there so much) me some pills to calm him down and make him less stressed, kitty diazapan, it means half a pill a day for at least two months. She also gave me some Urine Off spray and didn't charge for the consultation, saying that as he was one of "their cats" and it was a problem they were aware of (and they did forewarn us) there was no charge, she was just happy he had a loving home *glows* Giving him the pills is a bastard (I've been spoilt recently by easygoing cats) but if he'll be happier in the end it's worth it. Also, I asked about the patch under his chin and the vet said he has acne, and to cleanse it with Clearasil or another anti-acne facial cream.
So to review; Puck has an anxiety disorder and facial feline acne, but manages to induce affection and care in people.
I've adopted the feline version of me...

But I hope that Puck is feeling better soon. That so many people care about one little kitty is kind of heart warming :)

It's wonderful that you're giving a difficult cat a stable home. I hope he'll settle down soon.
Roland was a stray before I adopted him, and for his whole life with me, he wouldn't eat unless I was present - I'd leave him the food, but he'd wait until I got home no matter how long that took, then start eating, and I'm convinced it was because he needed to be sure that there was more food where that came from.
You are a very kind person
Date: 2008-09-17 02:59 pm (UTC)Good luck. This may well work. Ms Smudge has been getting panic attacks because she is currently Sole Cat (not for much longer!) and we have been feeding her cortisone in her food. Plus she has taken to hiding behind my teddy a lot. Her eczema has cleared up. May it also be thus for Puck.
