We don't have any other animals in the house as my mom actually doesn't like animals..sigh.

I could keep Tama downstairs in the foyer, but 1. it's all tile and cold 2. it's a small space and 3. Neko would have to live down there too because that's where the litterboxes are and my mom refuses to have the boxes anywhere else. It's just not fair to Neko to go through that-the poor cat's 10 years old- he needs better.

I can't keep Tama in my bedroom because my mom will not allow litterboxes up their. I keep Tama in my room with me until I go to bed, but that still doesn't work.

Tama has been on human anti-anxiety medication that my vet gave me prescriptions for- I actually had to get them filled at Eckerd. Even that doesn't seem to work.

The only other thing that my vet suggested is a depo shot- I gave him one once but the effect only lasted about a week. And the lovely part is that Tama could become diebetic as a result of the shot and his chances of becoming diabetic will increase with each shot.

The other kitties he previously lived with were not really bonded with him. So I cannot say that he really misses them- Cookie used to beat him up and growl and hiss at him all the time!

I've already given up so much this past year and had to let 2 kitties go. I just wish things would get better instead of getting worse...
