Dear Friends:
I am very stuck!! I have a 2 year old cat that I have had since she
was a kitten. I found her behind an automotive garage when she was
three weeks. I took her to a vet and he allowed me to bottle feed her
for 4 weeks. She is healthy and has all of her vaccinations. She is
spayed and de-clawed. I work an 8-3 job and I am home on the weekends.
It is just the two of us in a 6 room apartment. She has had love and
affection since the moment she stepped into my home. I have consulted
three vets and have even put her on the "kitty antidepressants" several
times.
However, she is extremely aggressive. She bites constantly and draws
blood on almost anyone she comes in contact with. She has been doing
this since she was a kitten and the vet told me she would grow out of
it. The vet told me my only option would probably be to out her to

It's likely she behaves like this because she is declawed. Cats without
claws often feel defenseless, and they may try to compensate by biting.
They can also develop other behavioral problems such as aggression. She
might be in chronic pain, even though the surgery was 2 years ago. This
would certainly put her in a bad mood.
I'm sorry I don't have a suggestion of what you can do to improve the
situation. Declawing is a cruel thing to do to a cat, and this kind of
problem is frequently the result.

sleep because know one will adopt her. Do you have any ideas of what I
can do? Who I can contact for help? I don't want to put her to sleep.
