I’ve been feeling like a crappy cat owner recently. My cat is having some health issues namely allergies. They’re bad enough that if she’s out of the cone of shame for more than a minute unsupervised she will scratch around her eyes and chin until they bleed. We’ve done the hypoallergenic diet for an extended time, we went to the vet and they said we needed to go see a specialist. The specialist is the only one in the area and they are booked solid. I haven’t been able to get an appointment and I’ve been trying for months. She’s been in the cone so long that her whiskers have broken off, she’s on like three different medications, I feel like I’ve tried everything. She can’t groom in the cone so I’ve been trying to help out with hypoallergenic wipes and brushing but she still gets matts. This has been going on since we randomly got fleas over a year ago.
In the midst of that I lost my job and we moved in with my friend who also has a cat, who my cat doesn’t like, so we have to let them into the living areas in shifts. She ends up spending a lot of time in my room. She’s started hissing at my house mate and even me sometimes.
I just feel like I’m not doing her any good. I don’t know what to do
