I put my cat on Prozac

If you have been reading long enough you know we have had an ongoing and escalating problem with Jelly urinating on things that are soft (dog beds, laundry, carpet, furniture...) and multiple failed attempts to prevent this led to her being relocated to the garage and laundry room (where we do not store laundry-too small). Limited to that area she has consistently peed on a puppy pad placed over a folded up blanket in an oversized litter box. But she seems bored and Jerry misses her in the house so we decided to try her on drugs and slowly allow her some limited access to the house and see what happens. We're gonna keep her on the meds 2 weeks before letting her in so it has time to reach efficacious levels. We have not tried drugs before because she's so hard to handle we were not sure (and are still not sure) if we can medicate her every day. Also drugs have a low success rate with cats who have a true substrate preference but my hope is that some of her behavioral issue is stress induced and the Prozac will help. I'm still gonna cover my couch is she stays overnight until I'm really sure she's doing better. We'll see.

Our plans to go to the NADAC trial in Oklahoma got cancelled at the last minute. Seems Cheri's entry got lost in the mail and the trial is more than full so they could not get her in. Since the weather was calling for possible blizzard we took it as a sign we should cancel our trip and I pulled Legend's entry for the weekend. We are bummed out a little but it quite possibly could have been a miserable trip and now I have some unexpected time to relax.

Of course it's chilly and rainy and muddy here so we will just be relaxing around the house for today.
