Um, you cannot keep a cat in a crate for 2 months. Especially a previously feral cat. This is animal cruelty and that vet is on crack. I have NEVER heard of locking a cat in a crate because of a UT condition. And giving her prozac??? Come on!! This cat will end up with twice the behavior problems if its caged up like that like some wild animal
It sounds like this cat needs to be an outside cat/barn cat/ etc or the entire house needs to be scrubbed with enzymes, and the litter needs to be changed to (Catlady posted a link in the last thread, I dont remember). But definately not kept in a crate, sorry.
We're still looking for a new home where she would be an outdoor/barn cat, but fed daily and no where near any streets.

On the bottom there's a roomy section and then a cat bed and a litter box. Then there's a second level that has soft foam. We built it ourselves. The problem is, there's no room for her to play and run.
It's like this one, but bigger

We have a "cat room" in the basement, so I moved her in there (and haha, I saw her use the litter box there immediately) because it's mostly cement and the only carpet there belongs to me anyway.

My thoughts exactly. We did the crate thing already because it was only a week and it made sense (she proved she will go in the litter just fine without any discomfort), but two months? What is this vet thinking? How can she doubt this is a behavioral problem when SHE'S the one with a small shelter overrun with 200 cats doing what they want wherever they please. It's also obvious now that she had Eden crated at some point because the poor cat actually prefers the crate (she will stay in or go back in if the door is open).

Good god! That vet is horrible. Is there any way to report these people? I'm not sure if you said anything about that in the last thread. I find this disgusting. How can anybody treat their animals like that?
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:(although she's been REALLY groggy and walks really stiff).
