Testing Is Complete

You might not have to turn her over to a shelter in order to have them POST her on their website! We post private adoptions all the time. Helps get the word out to more people that any one individual. AND, you can do any screening of possible adopters yourself.

But, seclusion in a room (if possible with your house) is a perfectly acceptable solution. One of our rescue volunteers has multi cats with 1 in a room by herself. The lone cat is picked on CONTINUALLY b y all the others, so it is for her safety.

We could keep her in there on a more permanent basis, but it keeps the others out and away from us at night. Small sacrifice I know, but I miss my Bo next to me.

Yes, we can put her on Petfinders, but with her "problem" I'm so afraid someone will not tolerate her like we do. I know there's a return policy, but you just never know. It's easier to place when you know there are no issues.

For now I will keep her in our room, but sure hope we can come up with a better solution.

Thanks everyone!

How about if you build a separate little area in the cat run just for her? From what I can remember, the cat run spans the entire back of the house, so cordoning off a small area shouldn't take too much away from the other cats.

I agree, sleeping without Bo is not an option.

Yes, Kevin & I have talked about expanding the cat run. That may be a solution for the future (problem is it's an expensive solution).

I do miss my Bo and she seems to be a bit depressed. I think she's missing coming in at night. She doesn't always want to come to bed when I go, she likes to sit with Kevin late, but likes to come in later on. With the door closed she can't come and go, and of course her and Leila do not see eye to eye!

On a side note, I was torturing myself on petfinder.com today, and I noticed that for some odd reason most of the torties & calicos were marked as not getting along with other cats.

Actually Bo gets along fine with all the others. It's Leila (tabby) that doesn't get along with ANY of them. She is terrible, even when one approaches on a nice basis. I really think she was abused at some point in her life. She deathly afraid of the broom. If I just pick it up she runs and cowers. May be part of her psychotic behaviour.

Speaking of psychotic.....have you considered having one of those pet psychics do a reading on her? I know Tracey had one done on some of her cats, and I know others here have had it done. Never know, and it might be cheaper than expanding the cat run.
