Uppdate:We thught we had a good plan and things was slowly getting better. But last night Minerva peed in our bed because we are both sick haven't changed our bed sheets and the litter boxes need new litter change. We both sleept sitting in the soffa. We are on the edge to break down totally. Everything with Minerva has afflicted us down mutch and now this. When Jotte looked at his bank today after everything is paid he had 10 dollars left for a hole month...I don't know what to do as this piont. I used every cleaning thing I could find and after a night with stuff on the bed madrass don't smell. We need to wash the bedsheets in 95c tonight. Hopefully that will clean them. We still need to get Minerva to the vet agsin to look so she don't have any problems also for her shot and meed for new years eve. So she don't get more nervous then she allready are. But we don't even have money for food at this piont. I'm serius afraid jotte is breaking down. I want to cry but has to be strong for him. But we need help and I hate to ask for help but help. The other cat's is suffering because everything. We are yelling at them because we are so stressed at this point. Plz if any help is better then nothing.
Hi
My name is Anneli Torgersson but most of you know me as Annieloy or Lady Annieloy from games.
Me and my husband are living on his low sallery and my tiny amount of monthly income.
I have Fibromyalgi to describe it easy it's a pain ilness that is constant 24/7 but a posetiv mind and have the ability to rest when needed makes it easier to live with. But it's also the reason we have a werry tiny budget to live on. And with the economy last cupel of years like the food prises has more or less is dubbel now comperd to begore for us with everything else on top
It's no hard to survive.
And to be able to buy other nessasary things. So everytime we need something that cost more we have to take a loan. Now we are at that piont we are trying to pay of loans and survive. Meanwhile we have been fighting with Minerva more or less since we did her castration. It was not what we had planed but was needed because she got sick. After that we also needed new glasses and we made a go found me for that. We got the amount for one pair of glasses but still had to take a loan on one pair because we both needed new glasses.
We don't have room for anything at this piont. But we are still trying to get Minerva back to her normal self. Her peeing problem did disappear for a while after the castration but she has been werry skittish and jumpy from sounds. And at the start at Jottes weecation she peed in the soffa again. We changed some things at home early spring and she peed the soffa at that time and now we can't trust her.
Before that she also been scratching on furniture's. So we got 3 new scratching poles and a cardboard scratching house. Trying to cover areas to give all 3 as mutch diffrent places to scratch. Since she peed in the soffa we been trying diffrent meds on her. First we had one for the blader that also calmed her down "Protexin Cystophan Cats". Then an other one dont rember they name but it was similar. Then we tried half of both it seemed to work she peed more normal but sudenly she peed the soffa again. It took a while to figure out what the problem is. The problem is that she have developed a bad behavior and she needs more action at home. More brain things but also more movement. Normally Ragdolls is a more relaxed cat, but Minerva is different it seems she needs to be activated. And also she is depressed and is easily disturbed by changes at home and outside. So we finally found a medecine that works called AnxiTane cats, and she's starting to feel happier.
And that's good but the medecin is just a part of behavior changing for her, it's recommended to use 3 months as same time as doing and adding things at home toys etc to change behavior. We also have tried diffrent calming sprays and Feliway plugg in. At the moment we have "Bio farm Pet Remedy" that one seems to work the best for us. As you all proberly have figured out by now this has cost a lot of money and it still does. We hade to get soffa cover to try to save the soffa also 2 diffrent layers of water resistant layers. And a layer of soak up blanket that we can wash in hige temp to get rid of the smell so that don't make her do it again. We was lucky because we use fake furr plaid in the soffa before the pee disasters never got in the soffa. We also spent money on a lot of viniger to put on the things we use as cover to get rid of the smell before we wash it like 3 times in hige temp. It's a lot of work.
Also we can't leave the soffa unsupervised because we don't trust her yet. So some one has to sleep there at nights because it has always hapend in the early mornings.
Ther is nothing wrong with her bladder she is healthy but it can be a problem if we can lower the stress in her in long terms.
Our goal is to keep her on the medecin for 3 months at the same time giving her more activity and options to express her needs. We have order 2 new activity toys and some easy to handel cat buttons for her. And are going to try to learn her to talk to us more clearly. We almost got her to abandoned scratching when she wants food. Instead she blinks one time for yes if she wants either Raw food or dry food when asked witch she wants. She's a smart girl just need to use it in different ways. They toys are hunthing toys that are sound and movement and hidden things. She loves those kind of plays. But she needs one more thing and we can't afford it now. I do anything for our cat's but now it's between what they need and our food and we kind of need food.
So what is it more we need then...we need a cat wheel...It's been recommended to us by a vet. Because of all attention Minerva is getting even if it is because she is ill Amaris our half bengal is starting to behave nagthy, she is frustrated. She's started to walk around a lot more being restless etc. And before this get totally out of control we need to stir thing up again. A cat wheel will make Amaris happier and more fit too Minerva calmer and more content and hopefully with everything else we added or adding back to normal cat behaviour again. And we can sleep in our bed again.
We been living in this stress for some time now and it's starting to get to me to. I'm less active and starting to get depressed, I don't know how mutch more I can take at this piont. Everything with the cats is landing on me because my husband works so I feel like I failed. Because my ilness is getting in the way of the cat's.
It would be heavenly if we could get help with money to get a wheel for the cat's. But I know we are not the only ones having a hard time this days. But at this piont I don't know what else I can do. We need this fast and that's not possible for us to save up for now. So my last redort is to beg for help.
If you feel in your hearth you want to help us I'm forever greatfull. If you can't I understand ❤️
Because of Sirius is a big cat we need a bigger wheel and those I seen are betwen 2000 swedish kr to 3000 and more. But I hope I can find a good one in that prise range.
We been looking at amazon on diffrent ones, we need one that can take cat's from 4 kg to at least 8 kg.
Something like this:
Or similar
I always hate to ask for help but when it comes to our cat's I would probably sell my soul to the devil if it helped them never get sick or wounded ever again. Jokes aside They are everything to us and I really hate to feel powerless and not able to give them what they need.
Every amount help no matter what size and I'm greatfull for all repost too. ❤️
This is the medecin cost we have for Minerva.
She will have to eat Axitane for at least 3 month. 1 tablet a day.
Protexin 1 tablet a day we need 2/monthe. And the Pet remedy Defuser 1 per month.
Sorry for the bad photos.
We need to keep on with the defuser for at least a half year.
Right now some of the prices are on sale but normally all this will vost us aroun 700-a month if it's not on sale.
Had a talk to vet we need to wisit them in December to check that Minerva is healthy before she can get calming medecin for new years that's another 1000-1500 swedish kr for that. At this piont I don't know what to do really. Also in January Is her regular shot and we need to save up for that.
I seriously don't know how to fix everything we need right now.
