A male neutered, front paws declawed, Siamese/Persian house cat, 6 years old, has a history of biting hands and arms. Over the years, the bites have intensified to severe puncture wounds needing antibiotics. I was bitten last week while the cat was purring and kneading me. Ledum helped with the severe pain but I ended up taking a week of antibiotics because the wounds quickly became infected.

He loves to rub his side face cheeks on your hand and on any hard pointed object like a chair top when purring. He constantly rubs up against your legs when walking with his side and tail and intertwining himself between your feet. He's lived with a senior citizen couple and had constant companionship. One owner died almost a year ago and now the other has been in the hospital for a month. He's sociable and hangs around people, now has been spending lots of alone time between my visits to feed it. Recently it pooped twice on carpet and peed once though litter box was clean. Loves to play and chase objects.

I checked the book Your Healthy Cat - Homeopathic Medicines for Common Feline Ailments by H.G. Wolff, D.V.M a West German vet. He writes about biting and scratching routine for female Siamese cats: "the cat will allow you to stroke her, she purrs and seems to be truly happy. In the next moment, however, she scratches and bites so that the fur flies. The smallest annoyance causes anger and a bad mood - perhaps for hours! Here the remedy is Platina 30. The Platina cat is egocentric, proud and presumptuous; she looks down on the world. These cats are oversexed and constantly hungry. " The author does not mention potency scale, so is C assumed?

This is a pretty accurate description of the cat and behavior. Though a neutered male, he comes across more female but is not constantly hungry. Definitely has an aristocrat way about him. Over the years I thought the biting was due to lack of front claws. Also, am wondering if all that purring and rubbing is part sexual. He will lay on carpet on his back spread eagle turning his head upside down while looking at me. Sometimes he just walks around letting out a few loud meows, possibly missing his owners, sometimes he seems sad/lonely other times playful/precocious. He definitely goes through many moods which can change fast.

I thought first maybe Ignatia due to loss of one owner and absence of second.

Or should I give Platina since the biting has been there for years?

Is 30C too high or should I start with 6C?

Conventional vet prescribed Prozac cream which has not been tried.

Thanks for any remedy suggestions, potencies.

Hi Susan,
I wouldn't hesitate to use 30c, esp. since you don't mention any health
issues or frailty. I generally use high potencies (200, and with two
of them even 10M), and have seen terrific results, and never any sort
of aggravation whatever. I have always used the same potency-choice
criteria with the animals as I have for the humans--simply because it
never occurred to me to do differently, and it's always worked fine.

Very interesting remedy picture--hope it works out!!
