She was adopted out Feb. 10th and Mike just left to go and pick her up. According to her new mama, Jedi has developed some unhealthy behaviors and Wendy simply can’t deal with it any more. She says she loves Jedi so much, but she is to old and to tired to lose this much sleep. The behavior is that now everytime the front door opens- Jedi dashed outside. I guess the other night, she stayed out past curfew 🙂 and then yowled at the door at 3:00 a.m. until Frank got up and let her in. She is also peeing on Wendy’s pillows which make a stinky night of sleep. So she will return in a bit and I will have to put her out in the enclosure until I get her to the vet’s to see if she has a UTI. I would bet not, because Wendy says it is a lot of pee and not small amounts. Oh well, what’s one more cat? *G*
Karen was again a no-show. I did hear she called another rescuer to see if she could put her old kennel out in the pasture and allow her cats to live outside. Fran told her she doesn’t even let the dogs stay outside at night let alone 10 cats. I think this was her last option. Now, she either has to come and take her cats back or sign the release form and leave my life forever.
As I understand it, you made significant changes to your barn to provide housing for these cats. Did she know that you were going to do this before she brought the cats to you? If she did, was she supportive of your choice? If the answer to these two questions is “yes”, you might want to consult your attorney.
I never would have thought of what Wayne wrote; good idea.
Poor Jedi. It doesn’t sound like that bad a behaviour, but who can say. I feel sorry for poor Jedi. It may have taken only a short time more to adjust…
Just returned from the vet and as I suspected, Jedi is perfectly healthy and just being a kitten. No other issues found. She is getting a bit harassed by the other cats because they don’t remember her, but for now, I have no other place to put her but in the house. She isn’t as friendly with us as she was before and I feel sorry for her. I misjudged this family. She told me that she believes that Jedi is feral because she keeps trying to get out the door. sigh
Jedi probably wanted out the door because it wasn’t the right home for her. So sorry this has happened. This has really been a rough stretch of time for you. It’s got to get better
