Jersey came to me at 10 weeks at which time she was like a fural cat. She has actually gotten much better with that. Really out out of that. She loves to be held, loved etc. but she just goes off for no reason. I never put her in the position to think she is alpha. This is something wrong chemically or otherwise. I know in my heart it is not a behavior problem. She has not been right since we got her at 10 weeks and really I should have insisted and gone with my gut back then but listend to the doc. who said it's just her personality. Jersey is a sweet loving girl and I know she does not understand what is happening or why. I have a vet appt. tomorrow and will insist on blood work or whatever else. I know there is a medical problem causing this. I just can't figure out what it is and if needed I'll take her to the university. She's not a bad girl and she does not have behavioral issues that can be corrected - they are def. medically related. Thanks. Elaine
