Well, my friend upstairs is using earplugs, which will do for now, but Ally is quite the screamer of a cat when she wants attention and KNOWS that someone is right in the next room! She bit Greg already, but he was prepared and just shook her to the floor (he said) and closed her door. He's not being very friendly any longer.
I've been giving her the Clomicalm once a day since Emeraldgreen sent it to me. She seems more subdued during the daytime (I've been home sick for the past week), but come night time, she is down at the bottom of the stairs (when I open the door to her room to let her run up and down the stairs for exercise), and she is wailing.
I've been wrapping her in a blanket, walking around with her, talking to her. She is still NOT happy with this. Her pupils are totally dilated most of the time, even before the clomicalm, and she just seems to be very agitated. She's not the most fun cat to pill either.
Sometimes she seems a little more calm, but then Fluff will walk around and meow and want to see her, and she totally FLIPS out. He's just so nosey and never wants to go away! She hates seeing any other cats, and so I basically have to baricade myself in a room where I'm pilling her to get her to semi-calm. I hate keeping her upstairs all the time, and figured being downstairs in a room by herself, at least for a bit, would give her some variety. I dunno. She puzzles me.
I did email Nancy Efrusy again. She has 4-5 in front of me, but said it will be a couple weeks. It's not like she's going anywhere at this point. I can't put her on a farm now. It's freezing cold, she'd die of exposure if she decided to run out of the barn. She's a warm climate kitty... it just wouldn't be fair. So, for now, she's in her room, Greg's in his room (with HEPA filter and ear plugs) and we're trying the clomicalm.
Will update more if and when it become available, lol.
