Kitty question

From [livejournal.com profile] deza:

"A few days ago, Kitty Sally got her leg caught in a bit of wrought iron. She was highly traumatized by this--even though she got out without any permanent damage, for a while she was trying to gnaw her leg off, and she really ripped into greyknight's hand.

Since then, she has been an utter bitch.

Yesterday, she seriously clawed both Rowan and arkhamrefugee without provocation. I really don't know how to handle this. She was a very sweet, affectionate kitty, but with all the upheaval, she's turning mean. I don't want to give up on her, but I'm getting concerened for the kids' safety.

Any suggestions for de-traumatizing a cat?"

What exactly is all the upheaval, aside from wrought iron trauma?

Moving twice, two small children, crazy woman who screamed at her (not anymore).

I would take her to the vet to make sure she isn't in pain or something.
:( Poor ting. Hope she's okay, and that she doesn't hurt anyone else.

*bing* this is what I'd say. She's probably bruised...

Well on the whacky new-agey front, I'd have a talk with her personally. I've managed to somehow communicate to a few cats now to get them out of a downward spiral of funk.

Maybe the people in [livejournal.com profile] humane_friends will have suggestions. I'd ask them. :)
