The cat my daughter took from the arrested druggie has adjusted... somewhat.
She uses the litter box, eats at the food bowl, has stopped risking a dunking in the toilet to drink from a water bowl. She has also stopped growling and yowling while staring into empty space.
She is now spayed, vaccinated and de-wormed. We heard from one of the druggie's friends that they called her "lucifer." Good grief. We call her "Lucy." It's corny-fun to come in and yell, "Lucy, I'm home!" or "Lucy... you got a lot of 'splaining to do" when she messes up. (old I Love Lucy Show lines)
My youngest child begged shelter for her cat since (a college housing thing), though, and that has thrown "Lucy" into a tiz. I figure all will adapt.
Anyway, it's working out and I'm glad she is out of whatever she was in. Oh, the vet ID'ed some motor problems. Nothing serious, but he's thinking it's from exposure to drugs. She may recover, but doesn't truly decrease her quality of life, just her fluidity of some movements.
