| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Herc,
You did what was right, what you had to do. Yup it hurts, and you deserve a good cry for the loss of your kitty. She will find a good home, and she will be happy.
Hang in there....
Hugs.... |

I had to do the same thing a few years ago, Herc. The new third kitty was starting fights and finally when she attacked my Valentine's Day dozen roses vase, I lost control and spanked her. I had to take her back to the humane society that day, Valentine's Day, and tell them to get her a home where she is the only cat. When we were alone, she was wonderful, but when she had to share me with two others, she fought them and drew lots of blood. I cried and cried all day. |

This story makes me sad to BUT there is a silver lining toall this. The stress level of my other 2 kitties is almost -O-.
They have stopped pacing. I didn't realize, but they were pacing almost constantly.
The male persian BC is now visible. He was always in hiding. I thought that was what he wanted Wrong! He was in hiding.
Hercules has been looking for the missing cat, but it is more of an on guard type of where is she.
I feel very good about the decision I made to re-home Fancy. She had to be just as stressed as the remaining 2 kitties. I still have not mourned her yet abd I may never mourn her.
When I was packing for our move last July, my female persian, Lovely, got very very sick. We had to have her put down because of it. I have never really mourned her because due to her condition I was being kind to her.
But then of course, I could just be numb due to all the drastic changes that have happened to me since July. Who knows? |

Well, I think that we have all adjusted to loosing our Fancy. Everybody seems to be unstressed and I am now longer waiting for my meltdown.
I feel confident that the decision I made was the right one. . It was for the best. So I refuse to feel guilty for not feeling guilty.
So, I will now oficially cancell the melt down notice |
