Cat Rescue on Long Island, NY??????

Hi Laura!

I definitely think she is depressed. Her facial expressions speak volumes! I thought about that too --- putting her in another place may make it worse as she may think we didn't love her or something.

I don't recall reading about a pet psychic? They would probably charge a fortune, though. If I had the $$$$$ to spend, I would take her to the vet for a complete exam and evaluation and treatment.

I'm going to see how she does. The lady from the rescue who called me said that it's possible the cat just wants to be alone and not be bothered. (That's plausible since the other cats DO annoy her to no end!)

(I wish I had a bigger place where she could have her own room or space or something!!)

The pet psychic I have used charges $30. Her name is Nancy Efrusy. I was very pleased with both readings. You might try e-mailing her at [email protected]. Attach a picture and she will get back to you.

In the meantime, can you block off the top of your bathroom door with a strip of cardboard and tape?

I blocked off the top of the bathroom door, but she still figured a way to get in there. The door doesn't shut all the way because it's not the right kind of door. Anyway, we had a hook & eye to keep it closed from the outside. Well, she climbs up the door and shakes it until it opens a little and then squeezes her way in. Yes, she is one determined kitty!

I took her out of the bathroom this morning and brought her into the livingroom. I tried having her sit on my lap (thinking to make her comfortable so maybe she'll start coming back in the living room, etc). Well, she sat on my lap for a while and I pet her and talked to her. Then, I put her down and showed her the cat bed. No sooner did I put her down did she run back to the food/water bowl and sit there.

I'm trying to get some money together now to take her to the vet for a complete exam, blood work, etc., so I don't have $30 for a pet psychic. I'm hoping the vet will be able to figure if she has physical or psychological problems.

Smart little devil

I would probably just put a bed and litter box in the bathroom (bathtub?) and let her be. As long as no one bothers her, it couldn't hurt. At least until a better solution comes up. Maybe she'll decide to come out on her own if she has her own private space.

I think mruffruff's idea of putting her stuff in the bathroom is a great one. If that is where she is comfortable, I would let her be. Good luck.
