This Thursday started calm and nice, except from the fact that we, the twolegged members of this family, had a bad day physically. We agreed on taking a lazy day and hoped for a better day tomorrow. 


We have had some problems with Fanta, the balinese girl that has been with us since 21st of June. She has attacked our dog Ellie several times. When she has done that, we have placed Fanta in the large catroom downstairs for a time-out. This was not a problem at first, but when we started giving her the pill she changed radically. We have not had any problems with the most of the cats regarding Ellie, but two of our females have tried to attack her. And now Fanta. The kittens in the Missiles litter has been at the mainfloor with us and the other cats for some weeks, and last week the kittens in our Vanilla Ninja litter joined them. Freja, the mother of the kittens in the Missiles litter has started to reject her kittens these last two weeks, and our OSH c var girl Bumpy has taken them i as her kittens. So for some day we have had kittens and cats all over the place, playing, climbing and running. Ellie likes the kittens, and she loves to play with them. But last night Bumpy attacked her without any warning when Ellie went to drink some water. There were no kittens around Ellie, but Bumpy both bit and scratched her. Luckily Ellie wasn`t much injured, she has a scratch in her left eye and some scratches on her head. Today Bumpy has walked around murmured and patrolled her environment and we have held Ellie close to us all day. Suddenly, without any signs or warnings, Bumpy attacked Ellie when Ellie was in my lap. I managed to push Bumpy down, but she tried to jump up again. Finn-Ove came and took Bumpy to put her in the catroom for a time-out, but Bumpy snapped and attacked Finn-Ove. He realised her at once, but Bumpy attacked time after time. Finally she run down to the hall and we put Ellie in our bedroom. Finn-Ove bled a lot, and in a short time there was a pile of blood on the floor. Bumpy has bitten him in his fingers on both hands, his palms, his arms and his left thigh and scratched him everywhere. 


We contacted the emergency, but as usual it took hours before they could admit Finn-Ove. He managed to put Bumpy in a cage, and we went to the vet`s with her. Both we and the vet agreed on letting Bumpy go, we can not have a cat here in our home that attacks both our dog and us humans. We have never seen any cat in that state of mind that Bumpy was in when she attacked. We are prepared of some people will think that we did the wrong thing with Bumpy, but actually we do not care. A cat acting like this do not have a place in our home. And we would not want to give some other cat lover the responsibility of a cat that might snap again. 


We are so sad this happen, and so sad it ended like this
