Now, I get it. Luci gets into fight play. She gets totally into it to the point where she pisses the other animal off and she gets hurt. She won't stop and she bites hard. She has sharp teeth and she breaks skin (on me). I can not make her stop. She just keeps coming. She pisses Indie off so much it worries me. He could kill her in an instant. So far, he has held back until I step in. She pissed the Raccoon off so bad he tore off a patch of hair off over her eye. I don't know if you can see it, but, she has a bald spot the size of a quarter! It's horrible. She was screaming and I separated them and caged him over it. But, she fought me to get back at him! She actually bit me until I bled so that she could try and fight him some more. No. But, the next time, I kept a close eye on them, and it became clear. She will not stop. She hurts him over and over until he loses it. The Raccoon is getting large. He is going to be a fucking bulldozer soon. He is not at all mean, he loves her and thinks of her as a litter mate. It's HER who has the problem. I have to watch them close and when she gets to be too much, it's her who gets isolated. Usually to the bathroom where her litter box and water is. This goes on all fucking day. I love her, but, she's goddamn mean! Any suggestions??? I am not kidding. I have a sweet Raccoon with pierced ears and a bald fucking cat! Someone is always bleeding here. Usually me. Help.
ps. Yeah, I know, I'm getting fat. That learning to eat thing worked too well. The doc weighed me yesterday and I weigh 129! For a short chick, that's a load. I am cutting down on the snacking. For real. Can't do anything about the fucking boobs. I'm all boobs, it's gross. I wish I had the bucks to reduce them, but, I'm lucky to even find a bra that fits.

Oh, I am sorry, Pat. My armchair quarter back advice was to keep her. Bummer she rages and fights.
I wonder if there is a kitty version of Prozac that would mellow her out. Harley took it for awhile. Not for rage or bitiness, but for anxiety. Maybe vistaril? I used to have our vet give us a written prescription that we could have filled for cheap at the grocery pharmacy when they came out with that list of $4 generics. It did help him, but I know cats and dogs are very different in what they tolerate.
I think you might need professional advice for her. It would be a shame if she stirred up a shit storm that ended in her demise. Especially when everyone else gets along and they seem to want to like her.

I had no idea they made drugs like that for animals. I should have thought of that. I am planning on taking her to the vet this week to ask about shots and worming, etc. I have no idea of her age, but, I think she looks old enough now. She does rage, Christina, it's like she loses her damn mind! I have really never had an animal like this. I have had ragers, but, they were just mean all the time. But, she isn't. She is generally sweet as pie and cuddly. But, then she starts to play like a normal kitten and then, BOOM, she loses her mind! I don't understand it. She's too tiny to even slap, even if I did that sort of thing. (I hate hitting.) When she loses it, I just pick her up and hold her close. She fights me like a tiger and breaks skin and just..omg..it's a rage. I put her in the bathroom, struggle to close the door and not hurt her as she throws herself at me. In about 10 minutes, she will calm down and come back to her senses. Then I can let her out. I am sick of this all day though. I am afraid to turn my back on her. One of them just might lose it on her. Indie knows he's a killer. He's quick and deadly. Toony has no idea of his strength, he didn't mean to really hurt her. He treated her like another Coon. He hurt her and I felt like a horrible pet owner. I'm scared for her.
She is young. She will outgrow it. You have to nuter her as soon the doc says it is safe.
After 4 yrs. of living here, my neighbors monster cat finally came around. I have more scars on my legs from this cat than I can count. He` even sleeps with me now. My cats move in slow motion around him. I use a water squirt bottle on them if they start up. It's gotten to where I only have to show them the bottle and they stop.
I just found out that Roddy Piper died 4 days ago. I like him. Damn, I really live in a closet.
OK if you pick her up it's her back to your front. Some animals are just crazy. Some dogs take prozac for it. It's that or put them down. They don't want to be that way, but they are.
I so wish you hadn't fallen in love with her. You can only do so much, and this is too damned dangerous. She can really hurt you or Lis or the cat, the coon, the chicks. Enough already.
Border, I am afraid FOR her. I can easily overpower her, but, she's fast and squirmy and bites and scratches like a demon. Her eyes don't even look normal when she gets like that. I am trying my best to give her special attention time. She gets left out with the crazies I have. Let's not forget the needy chickens. Mama Cass was in the house this morning simply because she missed me last night. Nuts. They're all nuts. I must make them nuts.
George Cooney is getting so big! And Pat - hubs and I told the kids that we will consider getting a kitty towards the end of the year. My greatest concern is Marinas allergies kicking into high gear again. So very many days her eyes were swollen almost shut and her nose and head always congested. She would dose herself with Benadryl and it was getting out of hand.
How do you get an adorable kitten like yours - and then tell a kid "Sorry, you can look but not touch!"
I like to think of you and your animal kingdom as a mutual support system!
And you are far, far, far from fat! Ill take some of your excess boobage.
ugh, my boobs are deflating would love a donation of boob fat from you.
i have to ignore my grossness in the mirror now, no longer have much hope for improvement
My only thought about her involves drugs - I'm not usually an advocate of them but I wonder if there's any herb or mild drug (ALWAYS dose by weight of a normal adult - 160 lbs, so divide by the patient's weight to get the dose - yes for her only a tiny bit of powder from a tablet, or whatever). that would soothe her wild mind.
I've tried Relief Remedy but didn't notice any effect in me or my dogs. Maybe melatonin? Or try eliminating sugar? Sugar makes me angry now, I just don't use it anymore. I pretend it doesn't exist so as not to crave it.
I'm a vet tech and I've had quite a few pets and some crazy mixes at times...dogs, cats, lizards, squirrels, wild rabbits, prairie dogs, chinchillas, a wolf hybrid on and on.... The one thing I've found to be VERY effective especially with cats is a water filled squirt bottle. Don't get a little spritz bottle. Get a big one from the garden department or you can sometimes find the strong spray bottles at the dollar stores. Fill it up and put it on stream. Trust me, she will HATE it and it will stop her bullshit right then and there. It might even work on your coon although they like water, he might not like it in that manner. This also works great on my dogs too. For some reason they hate it. I like it because it's a very effective and non violent method of discipline. All I have to do is reach for the squirt bottle or even just say "I'm getting the squirted!" Trust me, it works. Try it. You can even add a few drops of lemon juice, dogs and cats hate the citrus odor.
My other 2 cents is have Lissa use it on the coon because kicking him is kinda mean and it bugged me a little although I know he is an assholw and pisses her off majorly.
