Another fight :(

I just don't understand it. I've never had cats act this way. Pearl was
being ornery to Sugar on the cat tree. Sugar was there first so I moved
Pearl. She sassed me (nothing major at all) and that set off Grant.
Suddenly
cats were hissing and yelling and flying everywhere. I tried to separate
them and failed. All headed for under the bed where I could do NOTHING.
Suddenly Grant shot out and I got him out of the bedroom, Sugar into the
walkin closet and calmed everyone down. No damage, but a bit of saliva on
Pearl, but everyone, including myself was severely shaken. It's really
horrendous sounding and I end up with more wounds than anyone, but I can't
just let it go on (nothing very serious on me mind you, just like three
tiny, and I mean tiny claw punctures.) I've never had cats that do this. I
sprayed Feliway everywhere and for now, Pearl is in the bedroom. It's so
disheartening. How can I go on a vacation and not worry????? Even with a
pet
sitter dropping in, I'd worry tremendously. I could just cry. I've never
had
cats do this my whole life of being owned by lots of cats at once

Hey Karen, how's your weather? We had a cold front come through earlier, and
even the cows were acting stupid. I honestly thought they had gotten into some
loco weed. They *ran* from me, which they never do, even running into the
fence. And the cats were fighting too. I spoke with a kindergarten teacher, and
she said children are *very* susceptible to changes in the weather. Atmosheric
pressure or something. Said more kids get in trouble when a front comes in than
any other time. Weird huh?

I don't think it's the weather. We are slowly going back to cautious-
acceptance-but-don't-look-at-me-wrong. I armed myself with Meow Mix (jeez,
has that not got to be the potato chips of cat food) as a treat for positive
reinforcement. I'll just have to keep on. Grant got his anal sacs expressed
today, which I am certain makes him feel better. Still, I feel like having a
nervous breakdown.

Karen

Hugs and purrs for you to feel better, Karen,
