Dan, I'm sorry to hear of all the challenges with Jenny. I didn't even know cats can take prozac. I remember a book that came out about twenty years ago called "The Prozac Nation." I didn't think it would include our pets too. It does seem like she really needs to be in a one kitty household, so hopefully once she settles into her new place and you and Sugar and Scooter adjust to her absence, you'll all feel better.
And Arlene, I hope the rains have quit. Living in L.A., I've seen my own share of floods. I remember in the mid-90's, I was working at the VA hospital in Long Beach, and in the basement was where we had the rehab department with all the disabled vets in wheelchairs. During one of the heavy rains when the storm drains couldn't keep up with the water, the basement got flooded, and everyone had to carry out the patients in wheelchairs and hospital beds one by one and in our arms while knee deep in water. It was really scary. So I hope all the ditches and trenches Kim has built are holding up, so that you and the kitties and pups are all safe, sound, and dry.

We are keeping her locked up in the spare bathroom at night, and have the day bed covered with plastic. This morning I checked on her, she was still asleep and hadn't used her box all night. I left her in jail and checked again in 45 minutes. She had now used her box, and wanted out Now! I let her out, and she made a beeline to our bedroom and went under the bed. This is where she spends most of her time anyway, so that's okay. I figure as long as she is empty, she's safe.
She may be feral, but she not stupid. We are hoping she will get the point that she uses the litter box, or she stays locked up. We are going to keep at this, and the Prozac, for a few weeks and see if she get the point.
Stay dry Arlene, and keep us updated on the rain. Looks like it's not done yet, hope you don't have any damage, and everyone comes through the storm okay...

So far we are not flooded, so all is good. It is very wet and we sure do have some mud to deal with but we are not floating away The cat's are not happy, they want to go out and play in their compounds but when they touch the ground with their prissy feet, they fly back in .. so spoiled We even had a few days that had some off and on sun, but the ground is still to soggy for them So far, it is still looking like no one is back in season .. so YEAH!!! They seem to be getting cranky.. which is a good sign. I have one old girl "Sedona" she is 15 now but when she was young and having litters I always knew when she was pregnant because she would have morning sickness the first month! No such luck with the ones I have now.
