No Pill - Different cat!
Hi, all
Two weeks ago I took Tinùviel, my 2,5 years Devon Rex queen, off the Pill. She had a litter of four beautiful kittens Nov. 2002, and after that she was put on the Pill once a week. She is an indoor cat, but her son is living with her and I didn't want to cause any "confusion". Now it's decided that Tinùviel is going to have another litter, so I took her off the Pill again. And strange things have happened... She has become a happy cat again! She used to hiss and growl at her son when he wanted to play, the only living creature she trusted was me. But now, without showing any sign of being in heat, she runs around with her son (Teti), she sleeps with him in my bed at night, and really does her best to make a fool of herself! I called the breeder to get an explanation to this change in behavior, and she told me that some cats get "grumpy" when taking the Pill. She must definitely has been among them! Any similar experiences out there? Please let me know. BTW, after the next litter she is going to be neutered... So I get a steady, happy cat forever after. -- Hans Schrøder |

Is that what it is ? My Babette is a very happy, playful cat on the whole,
but sometimes she suddenly starts growling at one of the others. Maybe I should have her neutered then. Nanny "Hans Schrøder" schreef in bericht ...

Is that Ovid or Ovan or soemthing like that? I've heard it isn't very good to keep them on it, but not being up on those things I couldn't say for sure. Lois might have some experience, but you might Google groups for the brand name as I recall seeing people discuss it on rpch+b (health and behaviour). Karen I don't know if its the same for cats, but grumpyness from the pill can be a sign that the progesterone levels in the pill (it can be adjusted) might be too high.
