Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I am new at the newsgroup having joined just a few weeks ago and have seen many postings that would make mine seem so insignificant to other's problems but I must ask anyway. Perhaps I am not listening to Amma's answers or maybe she wishes to have the answers answrered here in the room but I must ask anyway. Bout 7 months ago my daughter gave me a cat which I galdly took in but it has been driving me nuts. I work the weekend on 3rd shift so that when regular days comes around I like to have my sleep . At around 2 AM in the morning my cat starts meowing and it really irritates me. I then have to put her in a cabinet and close it so I can get a restful sleep. About 2 months ago I opened my door and she scooted out and didn't come back till 10 hours later. Well lo and behold she got pregnant and had 1 kitten. I thought it was fine when she had the kitten and all that but now she's meowing and holwing at 2 am... 4 am .. etc when I should be sleeping. I'm thinking of bringing the cat and the kitten to the Humane Society there. Would it be wrong of me to do it? Should I keep them even though they are driving me nuts and tearing my place apart? I live in an apartment and though I love cats it is one difference from owning a house where one can let them go outside to one in an apartment where there is traffic all around. Amma says that even an has the consciousness that is us and cats are no difference but I just need to do what is right here. Any thoughts there? I would appreciate it very much. In amma ..

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Namah Shivaya, Your adult cat was/is meowing because she is in heat. Please only take her and her kitten to a no-kill animal shelter! I can understand that you are unable to care for them, but please do not let them be killed when there are alternatives. It would also be a very good idea to have your adult cat spayed so she doesn't get pregnant again, and it may quiet her down a lot. The kitten may be hyper for a while, but it's a baby and it's to be expected. The kitten can be spayed or neutered after several months. If you want help finding resources, contact me directly and I'll help find some in your area. In the meantime, try earplugs - I have four indoor cats and use them frequently (the spongy type work very well).

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Namah Shivaya, I used to volunteer at a humane society, & especially after that experience, would strongly advise against that option. I am also willling to help you locate alternatives. While at the shelter I was told that for each dog & cat to have a home in the U.S., every person would need to adopt seven animal companions. Since I believe that neutering & spaying our pets can help to prevent much suffering, I also hope you choose that route. I agree that it sounds as if your cat is in heat. They usually seem to calm down substantially after being spayed. I read in one of the posts about Amma's L.A. Q&A sessions that She said we don't have the right to take life, since we didn't create it. So, I agree that it would be best to place them in a no-kill shelter. My son & I both feel we see God very much in our animal companions! I am so glad you asked.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 It might be good to have both cats spayed or neutered. That might eliminate the night time yowling and pregnancies. Often the Humane Societies are set up to do that at low cost. Maybe you could post a notice at your workplace. It could be that someone who works day or evening shift would enjoy having a cat.
