Lunacy hurts.

[esoterikgardin]

I woke up with a claw piercing my back, just a few minutes before the alarm went off. This has become Luna’s new morning routine, to attack me in the early hours while I’m too dazed with half-sleep to properly defend myself. This cat is creative enough to come up with new strategies regularly. Just when you’ve learned how to block one type of assault, she’s got a new one for you to work on. She’ll focus on knocking down the items on the shelves in the back room until you feed her in the morning, until she realizes that you’re willing to close off one of the litter boxes back there and shut that door upon rising each day. Then she will pick fights with the other cats when they try to use the litter box in the bathroom (where you’re showering) and manage to destroy that room and even fall into the shower one day, claws and teeth still firmly gripping her opponent (poor, poor Simon). So when you start closing the bathroom door (with her inside so she doesn’t just go back to breaking things in the back room) she whines and whines and whines and attacks her own tail until she’s screaming and you think (from inside the shower) that she’s in the process of ripping a leg off or something. I seriously don’t know what to do with this cat anymore, short of buying her a nice comfy cage with a bed to put her in from time to time.

Do they make an OTC version of kitty valium? I really think drugging her is a good idea, for her own safety, ours, and the sake of the other two battered kitties!
