Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for responding!! Sorry it took me so long to get back to yall, I've had three tests this week!!!
Thank you so much for your support. I did feel guilty for drugging my cat, Chloe, at first, but she was so upset. She stopped eating, and she was stalking the new kitten. She got this crazy look in her eye and followed him around, it was very bizarre! If I separated them, she would claw at the door and meow. The last straw was when she injured the kitten....
So far things are going A LOT better! Liligoth: my cat is on Amitriptyline (the vet just called it Kitty Prozac - I don't know if it is). I think it might be more like an anti anxiety medicine. Chloe has started eating again and she's a lot calmer - most of her aggressive behavior has gotten better.
I still have the cats separated, so it is hard to tell what will happen with that, but I am optimistic! I will definitely try the vanilla oil when I do reintroduce them, neat idea! Hopefully, they won't kill each other!
Again, thank you so much for your support and I will keep you posted about what happens in the house of the depressed cat and cat owner!
love, memma
