Zachariah is back....he is NOT a happy camper :(

[jennielynn1970]

Oh my... I have a very unhappy boy with me right now. He is not being very friendly toward anyone, and he seems to have picked up right where he left off with picking on the girls (Sophie in general).

I left him out of the library tonight when I got home at 4:30, and he was doing fairly well for about 2 hrs. He wandered some more, sniffed more, investigated here and there. He does so love the floor scratchers and the scratching posts. I even fed them all some canned food at the same time and he meowed at me (he was a talker) while I was dishing it out.

About 30 minutes later, he is feeling a little more spunky and is chasing the heck out of my Sophie. He's cornering her, growling really low and nasty, and she is screaming bloody murder!!! The neighbors probably think I'm killing cats in here!!! I was using a squirt bottle with him earlier when he would get in someone's face, but this time it didn't do much of anything, so I scooped him up (much to his displeasure, he was very vocal about it), and plunked him straight back into the library room to have a time out again.

I just know this is going to end up causing more inappropriate peeing on the girl cats part again. Sophie was an emotional pee-er before, and I'm sure I'll be finding some puddles again. Sigh.

Even Smudge/Mr. Fluffy Butt, who hasn't hissed anyone since he's been here has been hissing at Zachariah and looking very vulnerable. Zach's a big boy, and he's just being very "disruptive" right now. I think I'll have to go hunt down some Rescue Remedy and see if that will help him with his anger issues. Poor guy.. I just want to cuddle him and pet him and tell him it will all be ok, but he acts like he wants to take my arm off!!

I know Nancy Efrusy is out of town and backed up, but maybe I can get my submission in for Zachy (since she worked so well with Ms. Boo and her issues) and try to nip this in the bud if at all possible. Wish me luck!!

Jenn, I was going to suggest you try Nancy and it is well worth her fee to see a unhappy baby, turn into a happy one. I do suggest you go on now and get your name on her list..... I WISH I had done it sooner and saved all of us that misery.

I don't know how she could explaine it to Zack that would make him feel any better though, but maybe it can help him to understand it better? With Boo, there was history with us, that connection of Mama and the gurantee that she will not be moving anymore, she is here to stay and how much I love her. Then Mama actually showing up to defend and reassure her.

I would still give her a try and hopefully, she can come up with something that would reassure him and let him know you care about him.. I just feel SO bad for him and what he has gone through already. I wish people would understand they have feelings too!

Poor Zach. He must be so confused and hurt.

Please keep us posted on how he does. I feel badly for the little girl, too.

Thats A Shame That Zachs Taking This So Hard But Moving Back And Forth Would Upset Anyone, Especially Someone Who These Changes Cannot Be Explained To!!!
We Hope That Maybe Being In A Room On His Won Will Calm Nim Down, If Thats Possible.
Poor Old Zach , Hes A Bit Like Tubster Who Spends A Lot Of Time On The Porch Or In The Basement Wheres Hes By Himself.
