FatFreddy, why not start a new topic? This doesn't help the subject of this topic, which is Callie and her owners.
OP, goodluck! I hope the vet helped you with the best way to use the Felaway. It's a product I would have seriously questioned as hippy bunk if a layperson told me about it, but it made a temporary situation here amicable rather then a total dysfunctional failure. The lady who recommended it to me worked her entire career in a vet clinic, so she gave me the best ways to use the product without inadvertently wasting it. (used the spray on some door frames at cat chin level, and one plug in at the problem area)
You know what I would suggest, you try, before having her euthanized.
I don't think so, at least in this case. Callie's problem is likely to be stress-related, so forcing her to wear something she may not like, or is uncomfortable, would probably make her even worse & not solve the problem at all. Might even cause other issues. Relieving Callie's stress (whatever that should take to accomplish) is really the only solution. Treating the cause, not the symptoms, is the way to go.
Actually, one cannot by definition "murder" anything other than a fellow human being.
Only by the legal definition. No, one can not be arrested and charge with murder for killing an animal, including a cat. But there are multiple definitions of the word murder in the dictionary outside the law, including:
"to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously." - with no specification of whether that's the killing of a human.

Ok then.
I don't see euthanasia fitting into that definition, but I'm sure I'll be "proven wrong" in that as well.
No one is killing her. We are doing all we can for her.
I did not say you were going to kill her, I was responding to someone else who suggested you might (actually they said Callie will most likely lose her life if she doesn't adapt).

Instead of a nasty remark give us your cure for the problem.
Again, I gave SEVERAL suggestions in your other topic, and you were very dismissive of them.
And again, I was not the one who made a "nasty remark" about you putting her down - I was responding to someone ELSE who said: "Callie is going to have to adapt to the OP's living situation, or she's going to lose her home (and most likely her life)." If you are taking offense at the suggestion that you might put her down, take it up with Aredhel. He/she is the one who suggested that you might do this, and I was just saying in general that would not be acceptable in my book, I NEVER said that you were even considering this. Maybe before you snap at me, if should read things more carefully.
