Frantic Fraggle starts his new life

After three months of waiting for Fraggle to stop peeing in the laundry room, stop pooping on the doormat and start getting along with Rae's three kittys (Swayze, Dusty, and Snowflake) I took action. He was a nervous wreck and more than a little aggressive to kittys twice his size. Who would have though he was an alpha kitty? Little man syndrome I guess.

Fraggle went to the vet and with a short discussion and some lab work, Fraggle began PROZAC FOR KITTYS! Such a great idea, I dont know what took me so long to ask about it.

Noteable improvements since Prozac has been on board:
1. No more peeing inappropriately
2. No more pooing inappropriately
3. Less fighting/attacking other kittys
4. Increased activity level
5. Improved agility (able to jump onto the couch again!)
6. Weight gain/increased appetite

Bonus: The pharmacy is able to convert the medication into a transdermal route med that I apply to the inner portion of his ear!

A happy yellow kitty?!?! HOORAY!!!! I can't WAIT to see Fraggle Baggle again!! Especially if he'll be able to jump right up on the couch with me for cuddles. Yay for Fraggle!!

Fraggle stuck a four-point landing off the couch the other day...downright graceful!

BTW the other cats have more than one guardian and told me they don't like being referred to simply as "Rae's."

Can I have some prozac?

Only if I can rub it on your ear.

Fraggle's demonstrated reduced anxiety and aggression as well as improved balance and mobility. It is exciting! He is learning from the other kitties to: go to the bathroom outside from time to time, when stuck outside just meow at the door and someone will let you in, when hungry you should meow and look adorable to get food, and if you're looking for a snack you just check the other kitties food dishes for leftovers.
