Can cats really sense hormonal changes? If so, why are just the girls reacting - not the boys? I can't say my moods haven't been a little shifty lately but I'm at work most of the time and I never take out my moods on my animals. They all still get the same amount of love and affection as I've always given them.

Could it be directly related to Samantha? Do cats take out aggressions towards other animals by attacking things they know belong to them? The other pillow, they'd seen Sam lay on for months but this new one... Sushi was laying on it before Samantha got on it last night. Are they that smart that they understood when I said it was Sam's new bed?

How much longer do I deal with this? If a baby wasn't 3 months away from showing up, I probably would just deal... but I can't have a toddler crawling around a constantly soiled house. *sigh* I cried from the second I saw what they'd done until after I got into work. I cried so hard, I gave myself another nosebleed. I'm constantly worrying about them and when I see a picture of them, I tear up. I love them all so much, I just don't know what to do.

Thanks for listening.
