So a couple days ago Scampers got attacked by my cat Skittles. His eye was in real bad shape as a result. I took him to the vet and he had to get medicine and I have to put medicated eye drops in his eye every 6 hours. The cat really got him good. Poor boy doesn't want to open his eye and screams everytime you touch the side of his face.
He is getting better but I have strict orders to keep a watch on his eye and I take him back tomorrow for a check up and pray that he is better because if he is not it is bad news.
So now I don't know what do about Skittles. I love her death but I can't have her keep doing this. This isn't the first time she has attacked one of the smaller dogs. She is 10 pounds so she is bigger than most of the dogs here. I shudder to think what would have happened if it was Brownie or Destiny that was attacked since they are quite a bit smaller than Scamp.
I don't know what to do. I can't keep her with the possibility of her doing it again. I am just torn.
She is the sweetest most affectionate cat you will ever meet. She loves people. She will lay on your lap all day and will even lick your face like a dog does. She gets along great with the two bigger dogs but is just horrible with the smaller dogs.
I have two other cats, one that is bigger than Skittles and one that is very small compared to the two. Now these two cats love the dogs, they will play with them and when they get tired of playing with them they just run up to their cat tree. They are really great with the dogs.
I just don't know what to do. I feel that if I keep her, I am putting the dogs at risk. I don't know of anyone who wants a cat and I could look for a home for her but the longer she stays here the more I feel like I putting the others at risk. And at the same time, she is being treated for a urinary infection.
If this was just a one time thing I would think differently but as I said before, this isn't the first time this has happened, it has just gotten worse.
Would it be horrible of me to take her to the humane society? I feel awful for even thinking of it but I don't know what to do. Would they be able to keep up with her meds? If I keep she would have to be locked up and that isn't much of a life for a cat. I love her to death, she really is such a sweet cat, just doesn't get along with small dogs. She would be great for a cat lover as long as they don't have smaller dogs.
Please help, I would love to hear your opinions and suggestions. I am just at lost what to do. Please don't be harsh, this is really hard on me.
