At Christmas we got my mom a rescued cat, who had been found in the snow and taken to a vet. He had some frostbite, was dehydrated and thin from hunger. He spent a week at the vet's where he was neutered, de-wormed, tested and given his shots, and in general taken care of. Then went to my mom's house where he seemed at home right away.

He is super-affectionate, which is great, except that he follows my mom around everywhere, grabbing onto her pantlegs, and is underfoot to the point where she is afraid she'll step on him or trip over him! He also wants to eat all the time and seems to drink a lot as well. He seems quite happy, though.

I am thinking the fact that he was abandoned or lost and then rescued has a lot to do with his clinginess and constant hunger. He is about 1 year old.

Ideas?

Hi Maryka,

If you want to try Bachflower remedies than you should give the cat :
Star of Bethlehem:Trauma/ shock
Heather: He is clingy because he is afraid to be left alone again.

if there isn't enough change after 1 bottle (3 weeks) add Honeysuckle and Walnut to the next bottle.

The Bach remedies: If you buy the stockbottles than also buy a 30 ml empty bottle with a pipette, fill this with non gas mineral water and put 4 drops of each remedy in the bottle, shake this well, and give your cat minimum of 4x daily 4 drops (on a bit of food or straight into the mouth, don't touch the mouth with the pipette!) best is the first week 6x daily. You also can put the drops (pure from the stockbottle) in his drinking tray, than you put 4 drops of each remedy in the water . Only this is an expensive way of administrating. When the bottle you made is finished I would like to hear the result. Also if you see any changes or other things comming up, let me hear.

Mirjam

Homeopathically I Would Give Him Some Pulsatilla 30c For A Few Days

Hello Maryka --

First, I want to say bless you and your mother for giving this little guy a good life in a loving home!

We recently adopted Gidget, a female stray kitty, who is also about 1 year old. She too was starving when she came to us, and she was also seen by a vet and given treatment similar to that your mom's little boy kitty received.

Gidget is also an exessive eater, and we believe this is because she was so starving when she came to us. She was skinny as a rail, and so full of worms that everyone (vets included) thought she was pregnant because of the way her belly felt.

We have treated Gidget's appetite by trying to be as understanding as possible. She is coming around slowly but surely, and she seems to finally understand that if the dish is empty, it won't be like that forever, and we will not let her starve.

Good luck, and please keep us posted on your little boy's progress.
