My name is Eleanor!

This is Eleanor. Unfortunately, when my stepson moved out of our house and took his cat with him, the dynamics of our home changed. From everything that I have read, it seems that this change scarred Eleanor in a way that has redirected her aggression toward Shelby, our other cat. We have tried everything…The only solution has been separation. Which, in practice, looks like locking ourselves in our room, moving through closed doors swiftly like spies. This has been going on for months at this point and we cannot sustain this. We have tried to surrender her to a shelter, but we were denied. I do believe that Eleanor would thrive as an only cat. She is affectionate, cudddly, SO playful(almost doglike, she LOVES to play fetch), likes to be carried around like a baby. She is strong and athletic so she likes to climb and be outside. She talks a lot, but she sounds like a squirrel. She is hilarious truly and has such a big personality.
